    Its called Linux Mint. Easier to install than windows, significantly cheaper, and frankly easier to configure.

      One problem: not compatible with Windows. Of course you can use Wine and similar stuff, but isn’t 100%, especially not when you’re developing for Windows. Also there’s the issue of NVidia drivers (I won’t sell/throw into the trash my GTX1050 just because NVidia doesn’t want to make their drivers open source), and also a lot of pro audio stuff isn’t available on Linux.

        Love how you cherry picked a bunch of old news not relevant . Its 2024, not 2003.

        Development experience in linux is significantly better. Get off the cult and join the overwhelming majority industry which is built on it. Your skills and IP will be better off and protected for it.

        If the microsoft product teams can develop on macbooks you bet your arse you can develop for any platform on Linux, and frankly most cloud platform preference opensource. Skill issue.

          No thanks, I don’t want to spend days troubleshooting issues with cross compilation, differences between Wine and actual Windows, struggling with the tty-only debugger (I want my debugger to do things on button presses, not by complicated scripts), etc.

          Skill issue.

          Oh, here comes the gatekeeper protecting their operating system from the “normies”!🤣
