never had problems with windows,
joined devRant and read about problems,
now I have problems with windows.

Windows is great for its purposes but I would recommend every developer take a month to use Linux and try to get everything just the way they like. After that I don't think too many people would go back.

@tpalmerstudios never knew anybody that did, or if they did they switched back after the first windows update. well unless they were hard core gamers

@tpalmerstudios

I worked with Linux for a year and then went back to windows. I don't understand the hate for windows on this site and it feels like most people jump on the hate to feel included and hip (like ha I'm so hardcore use Linux).

Window isnt perfect but I have used it since 3.1 and I have never had so much problem as people on this site describe. And by the way, Linux also has problems. The difference is that the solution usually end ups with some weird terminal command that some internet guy fixed up while on Windows it's an update or restart.

@tpalmerstudios I develop almost exclusively .NET MVC websites and Windows services.
What Linux distribution do you recommend for me? 🤔🙄

@tpalmerstudios the biggest problem is when you need to install a new software. You can be sure it doesn't exists on Linux or it's a software made by one person that make your distribution crash when you try to install it.

At least it was like this around 2012 when I tried to be a 'linux hipster'.

@tomabolt I think a lot has changed. I use spotify and chrome on my Arch Box. Steam works, and I know lots of programs don't work on Linux, but I can watch Netflix, YouTube, and listen to Spotify while developing in vim and tmux.
