Just listing technologies that sound kind of similar isn’t enough to actually answer the problems people want solved. The “good old days” were basically just people crying about being unable to have any of the features we have now because they don’t match up or differ in subtly different ways.
- pjmlp 2y agoBest way to solve problems is not to have them in first place, like getting a Linux laptop for doing Linux work.
- FpUser 2y agoWords of wisdom. I do not really have any dev related problems with WSL2 either. Normally I develop and debug on Windows and deploy to Linux as my code compiles and works natively on both. It is mostly C++ backends lately so I suspect I am in tiny minority.
- saagarjha 2y agoI like my laptop though.
- pjmlp 2y agoThen use it as Apple decides it is in our best interest to do so, :)
- jchw 2y agoIt's harder and harder to use Linux at work outside of bigger tech companies these days. Security standards like SOC2 seem fairly difficult to satisfy for Linux workstations without serious compromises. This is a damn shame because there are approaches to secure Linux workstations that seem pretty powerful but security standards now are prescriptive about what you must do to secure your systems, and for Linux that's going to mean paying for some subscription software that most likely only supports a couple of distros, and if you're lucky, they might support kernels from the _current_ decade. I used Linux workstations for most of my entire career, at nearly every job. Seems like around 2018 something changed and now I'm going to have to fight to get a desktop that I feel vaguely productive under for every single job I get going forward.
