Like, seriously, bruh. Some junior have managed to run Notepad++ that consumed a lot of RAM... on our development server... on CentOS... using Wine.

You know, in some situations it's totally legal to beat someone's with a chair.

There's just nothing like Notepad++ under Linux. No, not even Notepadqq.

@Fast-Nop yish, Notepadqq is a rip-off that loads slower than any JetBrains IDE and VSC at times.

@Fast-Nop
The stupid part isn't using notepad++, but running it on the dev-server.

Also, Geany seems to be pretty good.

The fact that you have a DE running on CentOS is enough for me to walk away and let it burn.

* @C0D4 exists stage right*

I'm kinda impressed...

You're running X on a server?

I've lost faith in some people when I've seen pull request in our automation with something like

+ set -gx EDITOR nano
+ alias vi nano
- set -gx EDITOR vim
- alias vi vim

from my windows oriented colleague :-)

This would have been pushed to all linux servers via Ansible. Not on my watch!

Complains about junior running graphics on a server which inexplicably has a graphics environment installed.

@AlgoRythm @C0D4 well, I didn't say that I'm not concerned with having DE on server. It wasn't my decision or desire to install graphics, and because of it I straight away said to colleague that it's going to redundantly eat resources.

I'd be more worried about a production server running a desktop manager and wine.

@datablitz7 Check the rant again.

@Fast-Nop kinda surprised it hasn't been ported then again there isn't really a desire to I guess

@JamesRyan It's because of vi which induces the "vi syndrome", a sort of brain damage that makes people fail to understand anything about UI design.

Troll is trolling.
