Windows 11 may be the king of operating systems, but Linux is the better alternative for programming and software development.

      except when compilers and libraries have platform-specific quirks, or you are developing something that should run on a server

      An editor? That’s it?

      No need to test the code? No need to see how that code behave with other components?

      Have you ever code in your life?

      Depends on the ecosystem around the language - there are tools that just plain don’t work or work poorly on Windows.

      Alternatively you could try developing a .NET Framework v4 app on Linux, if the OS doesn’t matter (no, mono is not equivalent).

          Are you my programming professor perchance? Sure, if the mafia points a gun at my head and forces me write an IBAN validation algorithm in valid Java code on a piece of paper, then I’m happy to oblige. But when does that ever happen? Why use Netbeans with light theme? Why are you forcing us to demonstrate bubble sort with a Hungarian folk dance? Why are you recording us dancing? I’m asking too many questions. You probably put too much crack in your coffee today.

      I attended a conference where there was an openvino demonstration

      The windows guys who tried to install relevant stuff, were met with a big visual studio download

      The macOS guys had it easy

      The only linux guy had an amd and couldn’t try it

      Ironic, since that was an open source conference

      Only 2 presenters openly used libreoffice
