Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

do you do graphics or video editing then you are right

Not just that, same for every advanced MS Office product, any other enterprise desktop MS application, architecture, a lot of engineers...

do you do non-Windows specific coding? Its the exact opposite.

Jetbrains is available for all platforms and runs equally good on all of them.

It's not about the IDE lol. It's about everything else. Windows does not conform to the standards everyone else does, probably deliberately.

Also: WTF is a QWORD? And why are we SHOUTING in C? Even "qword" would have been more sensible, but no, MS decided to shout in a primarily lowercase language because why not.

Ahaha while you aren't wrong, you're a bit off as well. I know lots of developers doing their jobs under Windows and they'll be really annoyed if forced to deal with Linux for their jobs. Not everything is lower level shenanigans and to be fair almost nothing is low shenanigans nowadays. Your run-of-the-mill average developer is doing stuff in web related technologies and can get just fine under Windows. After all there's always WSL and Docker and Microsoft did a nice job with Windows Terminal.

You may find it hard to believe but Microsoft positioned themselves very well to take a large chunk of the current and future developer ecosystem, be it via WSL, nice tools, IDEs or whatever.
