C# on Visual Studio is a fucking nightmare. Switched to Rider on WSL the first chance I had, not looking back.

Then again, if this is running on .NET Framework, there is no choice, afaik. You get a buttplug made of barbed wire in Windows + VS, and you’ll like it

Surprised no one mentioned Memento.

I’d say that you HAVE to re-watch it to understand wtf is going on.

While they do work, the UX is kinda gimped (knowing Micro$oft - that’s on purpose).

Violence No Matter What (in my ass)

Recent Linux convert here. Had some small background with it due to use at work (through WSL, unfortunately 😅). When Windows became too overbearing and intrusive for my own taste, decided to take a plunge and created a dual-boot setup with Bazzite (of course on my private machine). It was honestly refreshing to see stuff run with the same (or sometimes even better) performance.

This short anecdote now leads me to the conclusion; is it as good as we think it is?

Imo: hell fuckin’ yeah. It gets the job done and respects me as an end-user (with the trade-off of “some manual work might be required”).

Also, as a side-note: I live in the EU; I grew tired with an overbearing, salesman/rapist-like mentality of MS (and Windows, by extension) while reaping benefits of some modicum of privacy regulations. I cannot even begin to fathom how fucked the situation is where ppl don’t have these protections to rely on.

This is the right answer imo. While it might be an overkill for sth like 404s, it’s amazing for describing different bad requests.

There is an old anecdote about this kind of situation; Postman (P), Recipient ®:

R: what are you doing? P: I left a notice that I tried delivering a package and you weren’t home. R: But I clearly was! P: <shrugs> R: <bashes postman’s face in> P: WTF, MAN!? R: It wasn’t me, I wasn’t home.

Replace ‘gin’ with ‘rum’ and you have my attention 😁

The increasingly inaccurately named Hitchiker’s Trilogy by Douglas Adams (…)

Aka: the trilogy in five parts? But yeah, it’s a great pick book-wise

Seconding Bazzite (or in general, UniversalBlue distros), but went a step further and created a dual-boot setup. Relatively hassle-free, aside from some minor, (probably) NVIDIA-related hiccups.
