What the fuckity fuck fuck???? What kind of retardation is this? ๐๐๐๐๐ Duude...
How you gonna do like, development, on a platform that hides all you need to develop? Idk. Magic I guess. Shit. Anyway.
Don't worry. Microsoft apologists will bitch and complain about it, but still continue to use it because it's inconvenient learning a different OS that isn't wrapped in bubblewrap. Or muh softwareeee.
I just virtualize Win10 LTSC on Debian nowadays in the exceedingly rare cases that I need to use Windows specific software.
I use windows everyday because I like playing overwatch. A lot. And drg. And also my laptop has some hardware that is incompatible with the Nvidia drivers that are shipped for a all the Linux distros I tried. Which means I can't dual monitor. Which sucks. I also utterly fucked the grub and no one helped me so after 3 weeks of endless agony I decided to just play overwatch in peace and pretend everything is alright. ๐ *inner screaming echoes*
After my adventures with getting Linux to play nice with Nvidia hardware, I just opt to say to not bother with Nvidia when it comes to Linux. They're downright hostile towards free software and having a kernel update drop you into a TTY prompt because their build scripts are incompatible with the newer version for whatever reason is just inexcusable. I can navigate my way around in a pure CLI environment and fix it, but a lot of newbies cannot.
I would say the same thing but it's very hard to do gaming with the games I like without Nvidia :( If I have free time, I spend a lot of time gaming, be it by myself or with my friends. I look at my start menu and there's so many games I couldn't play on Linux.
I use WSL2, a shitty integrted linux virtual machine for windows. Much better than a normal VM, but much worse than raw Linux. But much better than Windows for development in general. Especially since I know a lot more bash than powershell.
