Have you considered switching to a Linux desktop environment? Unless you need Windows for some reason, Linux is generally the best development environment in my experience.
- toastercat 4y agoI actually do run Linux on my work PC, but I prefer Windows to every Linux DE I've tried (including GNOME, KDE, Budgie, MATE, and XFCE, although XFCE is by far my favorite), so I'd prefer to stay on Windows if I can.
- skohan 4y agoWow really? Cool if it works for you, but after switching to Linux I find Windows very annoying and high-maintenance.
- toastercat 4y agoI've found the opposite (although I do run Windows 10 LTSC). Most Linux distros I've tried break between releases, driver issues galore, UI aesthetic and performance inconsistencies across apps that use GTK/QT/Electron/etc. I love Linux, but as a desktop, it's really nowhere near as consistent or cohesive as its corporate counterparts.
- skohan 4y agoI guess it depends on your priorities. I've had a very good experience with Pop in terms of polish, and after mostly switching to a Linux desktop Windows is unbearably noisy as an OS to me.
- toastercat 4y agoI also used Pop, but had visual glitches & lag with GNOME after an update. YMMV I suppose. Windows is indeed noisy as hell out of the box; it takes probably a day's worth of tweaking to get it to a usable state. Easier done with an LTSC release, hence why I stick to that.
