As a linux dev I find the opposite. Everything I use works out of the box on Linux and everything on Windows needs config and fiddling -- and that config seems to always end up involving a GUI that I can never remember my way around.
I guess what I am trying to say is that our experience with different systems impacts how productive we are with them.
- ozim 10y agoI wonder how it goes with the type of things I install. I suppose I am maybe trying to play with "fancy" stuff on linux that is not easy to install like .NET core. Because to install HTTP/SSH/FTP servers and configure is also quite easy for me. Do you try to install some unusual things on windows maybe as well??
- JupiterMoon 10y agoI've never deployed on a windows server I'm thinking of my dev box here. I just install what I think of as standard dev tools. I guess they are not standard on Windows. Hence my pain... I pretty much would have to install cygwin to get something I'd be close to comfortable working with -- at which point a virtual machine is just easier (and then I can install the same OS as on the server I'm deploying on anyway). Whereas I guess for you .NET core is a standard thing and it is (still) not a standard thing on Linux. Hence your pain.
- ozim 10y agoYes for new windows since 7 you do not have to install anything besides visual studio. All .NET framework is already in windows.
