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.

I have a deck, a few old laptops that have all gone Linux now, and a windows desktop for gaming. The deck being so good, and Windows 11 being so bad, has nearly convinced me to try Linux on the actual desktop.

I think there are still a few games and applications (I'm primarily a C# dev for work) that I "need" Windows for but the case for dropping as much MS from my life as possible has never been stronger.

I do C# dev for work also but use Linux. You'll have to use Rider for Visual Studio and Datagrip for Sql Server Management Studio. Only drawback I have is that Edit and Continue only works on dotnet > 8.0.

You might need to do a tiny bit of extra support for the launchsettings.json since you'll need to launch with kestrel server instead of IIS Express.

Legacy dotnet will need an old Ubuntu/Whatever so some docker knowledge may be required since MS didn't release a snap/flatpak of dotnet yet. 🖕

I use Linux for gaming and dev with a highly customized KDE+bash setup and I love it. :)

I can't speak for everyone but I used to say "I can't drop windows because I need XYZ programs all the time".

Well turns out I don't, and turns out it's surprisingly easy to tell my employer (well my professor really, I am a PhD student) "Sorry I can't run that program, I don't have windows". If they don't accept it, they can supply me with a windows PC.
