spezAnon uses arch btw
Th4tGuyIIArch is the truest test of how much you're willing to sacrifice for control.
You get control of everything on your system, but you're basically on your own when it all goes to shit... which from how many of these posts I keep seeing seems to be a daily occurance haha
VlynAfter using Ubuntu for a while I wanted to try out Arch once. Grabbed a step by step instruction and followed it.
Around step… 7 or something I ran into a wall, because the commands simply didn’t work. After messing around for an hour or two I finally gave up at that point. Of course that was years ago, so it might be easier now to install.
But overall I’d rather use Windows, Ubuntu or whatever, give me an OS where things just work, as I have actual work to do (instead of trying to fight with my OS). Hell, back in the day (~14 years ago) when using Ubuntu for school I once spent hours to get HDMI Audio to work, it was a nightmare.
Right now I just use Windows 11 on my desktop (as I game a lot and use Visual Studio) and Ubuntu on a server. I’d love to fully switch to Linux as my daily driver, but there’s simply too many features that wouldn’t work :-/
StudioLEIf you switch from Visual Studio to Rider it’ll make the migration fully to Linux much easier.
Lol, Rider is paid only. And it’s a subscription too!
My work pays for Visual Studio in the office and at home when I want to mess around in my free time Visual Studio Community (which has around 95% of the features of the paid versions) is free.
If I ever work for a company that uses Rider I might switch. But paying over a hundred bucks a year just for the little bit of personal use is insane.
Rider is free for Open Source projects: www.jetbrains.com/community/opensource/#support which should cover your personal projects.
Might also be worth asking around if your office have any JetBrains licenses. It’s pretty common to have one covering the .NET suite for dotTrace etc
nanoUFOI have nothing against well made paid software but I am not going to use a subscription model to pay for it. I am not looking for software that is looking to rent seek from me every month.
So you’d be OK paying a one time fee in order to own that version forever?
Because that’s literally how JetBrains works:
12 months of uninterrupted subscription payments qualify you for receiving a perpetual fallback license.

(I promise I’m not a sales rep)
Huh didn’t know that and I’ve never even seeing anything remotely similar, sounds pretty fair.
