I use pretty much all 3 main platforms as daily dev enviroment. Mint for work, Windows for hobby and OSX for when I work outside my house. And I find that they are all pretty equal as dev experience(outside of VS, which I avoid because it locks me too much on windows). What would you classify as a better dev experience on Fedora than on windows? I think it might come down to just being used to it or personal preference. They all have strong/weak points but mostly I can get a productive experience on all of them.
- vetinari 11y agoCannot speak for OP, but the thing, that makes Fedora better developer experience than Windows is dnf (yum) and especially -devel packages. Windows or MSVC does not really have a standardized way how to cope with third-party SDKs. It is basically unzip the libs and includes somewhere and configure that path that in your project (good luck making other people build your solution). It kind of works with shallow dependencies, but not when your dependencies form a nice graph. In Fedora, these things work out of the box and you don't have to waste your time.
- mands 11y agoAbsolutely. Being able to install a -devel package and just get on with things is incredibly important.
