What tools don't run on Linux? Modern tooling almost assumes Linux in most cases now. As a Windows user I feel like I hit this wall way more often than any other.
- tored 2y agoRunning an IDE over ssh or samba is just an awful experience, but generally if I want a command line tool to be installed I need to be either root or I need to ask the administrator of the server to install it, on my own machine I can install whatever I want and I can run whatever operating system or distro I want. And if I'm traveling I can bring my laptop with me, can't do that with a server.
- trog 2y agoOh right sorry I did forget about that aspect. I haven't done that for a while with a big codebase with, say, VS Code, and not on anything that wasn't very low latency (sub 10ms, so local LAN). I am mostly editing directly on the server when I do it these days but that wouldn't fly for anything other than the light hacking I do.
- tored 2y agoThese days with many working on remote location you also need to include the VPN latency.
