Makes me wonder what problems they faced with a Client/Server architecture.

Scope creep maybe? Supporting lots of platforms can be very time consuming.

Recently I tried to get some advice from some locals and posted in a larger subreddit.

Post got immediately removed because it's a duplicate of a year old post which is only remotely related.

That place can be so stupid.

After a particularly tough week I can't thank you enough for posting this.

Gave me back a bit of energy.

I mean. I like compiling stuff myself but when I have to update 100 tools and all are source code to be compiled, then I can't use my pc for a whole day or so.

I'm on vacation in the US atm and traffic is wild.

The worst drivers in Europe would be better than the best drivers here.

Everyone is constantly going 10-20 mph over the speed limit. You constantly get cut off and sometimes even pushed out of your lane. You can have your blinker on all you want, no one is ever letting you merge unlees you force your way in and yadda yadda yadda.

In the >6000 miles I've driven now I have seen one automated speed camera. There is a larger police presence than in the EU but they don't seem much interested in enforcing traffic laws.

To any US citizen reading this: This is not meant to be rude, but you guys could have it way better and way more safe than it is currently.

Lol yeah. Surprised no one made that yet.

Very good point. Didn't even think about that. At home we use a soundbar because of that.

The standards are still pretty bad, and most producers of movies and tv shows still don't balance their audio for home TVs, but I do believe Ads have a limited allowed "loudness".

If it was real baby mode we would have a regulated minimum and maximum loudness for everything, so we don't have to change volume constantly.

I thought it was quite bad already in the EU but we at least have standards for it. I'm currently in the US and watching TV I have to turn on closed captions for everything because voices are just so damm silent, while Ads and stuff just blast your face off.

If you disregard LTS versions, yeah 😄

Even then it's usually just a kernel update and not a complete OS reinstall.

Well, we could have found out what he did with his life if he didn't die.

If anyone has additional context please share.

 

I hope this doesn't come across as bragging, but I'm really looking forward to my expanded roster of warframes 😄

Admittedly I didn't farm them myself, I just bought the blueprints from the market. Saryn I randomly got this week from the circuit as only warframe I didn't have yet. But my Helminth will finally get something to munch on at least.

 

Totally not based on a true story.

 

Insert <it's not much but it's honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.

Can you guess what everything does?

 

As the title says, you probably guessed it already. For work I mainly develop on the .NET platform using a Windows device, but at home I enjoy all the benefits of a good OS.

Now I kinda want to get my C# skills "sharper" and have some projects in mind utilising it, but I'm a bit miffed about the development tools and possibilities of deployment available for me on Linux.

Also I may want to coerce my boss to let me work on a device with my OS of choice.

Any advice from devs that are in a similar spot? What do you use for .NET development on Linux? And are there any cool multiplatform deployment possibilities (next to Xamarin/Maui) that actually let me build natively on Linux?

... and I absolutely love it.

After my previous post where I asked for advice on distros I have tried Mint and EndeavourOS first as VM's and afterwards I gave them their own partition and tried it on my real hardware.

Something about EndeavourOS just sat right though and I promptly replaced my windows install with it. KDE Plasma also blows me away with the amount of customisation that is possible.

I've spent some time configuring today but mostly aesthetic stuff as my hardware worked 95% out of the box. Some odd dependencies were missing for steam to work properly but I'm really not missing anything that windows had right now.

I'm curious how my uni workflow will look like now, but I'm sure I can make it work.

Thanks a lot for the support and advice you've given me. I really love the community on here.

I'll get back to customising my bash prompt now. 😄

Edit: Due to popular demand:

I use Arch, btw.

Hey guys, I'm an entry-level IT professional and tech enthusiast.

I'm getting a bit sick of windows for a multitude of reasons and want to try out some Linux distros.

I use my pc for web browsing, university (which uses office 365) where I study software design, software development (vs code, visual studio, jetbrains stuff) and gaming (99% of the time via steam).

My main concerns for switching are that I'll have a hard time with university work because we mostly use teams for video conferences and work together with word, and other office stuff. We also are required to do some virtual machine stuff where we use virtualbox.

Also I'm a bit worried that some games on uplay, epic and other platforms aren't available anymore.

For distros I've been mainly looking at Manjaro, Linux Mint or plain old Ubuntu. Can you recommend anything that might fit for me or will I maybe run into any issues with my chosen three?

Edit: Thanks a lot for all the replies. I've read through all of them even if I didn't reply and it was very helpful. I will test most of your suggestions in a VM before I jump into completely changing my OS. And I'll probably try booting from a USB Drive first. What I didn't mention is that I've already worked with Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS, so I'm not scared about having to use a CLI.
