Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.
It is said that the true linux developer can survive for months at a time on nothing but a piece of dead skin from a callus on his foot and the energy of the community-maintained free and open-source software
I still use Windows as my main computer, partially because I got this computer before getting into linux and have built up a lot files on it, and because I have a WMR VR headset that doesn’t currently have controller support on the open source drivers (maybe once Microsoft kills WMR with the next windows version I’ll switch)

Windows is the most common operating system for developers

Visual studio which the the most used IDE after Visual Studio Code is only available on Windows and Mac.
The Mac version will soon be retired though.
Yeah. He even has a server rack at home. But still uses windows for all his devices. Luckily he’s not crazy enough to run windows server.
Then you‘re definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.
That sounds pretty nice actually. I’m based in Sydney, but I don’t really find anything like a computer club nearby.
Maybe i just don’t know how to search for it.
We don’t use open-source around here pardner.
