Well, there’s modern C++ and it looks reasonable, so you start to think: This isn’t so bad, I can work with that.

Then you join a company and you find out: They do have modern C++ code, but also half a million lines of older code that’s not in the same style. So there’s 5 different ways to do things and just getting a simple string suddenly has you casting classes and calling functions you have no clue about. And there’s a ton of different ways to shoot your foot off without warning.

After going to C# I haven’t looked back.

Be sure to unplug the windows drive before installing Mint to the other drive.

Why would you do that? Totally unnecessary. When Windows is already installed any Linux installation respects it without issues. The problem is the other way around, if you install Linux first and then install Windows afterwards on a second partition/drive it nukes your Linux bootloader.

Especially in times of M.2 drives (which are often behind the GPU) you only annoy people by telling them to unplug their Windows drive first. And they might want to use a second partition on that drive if it’s bigger.

Mobile is an entirely different beast. Like sometimes my keyboard doesn’t show up. Or the text select refuses to work. And so on. It’s a mess. Even on a Galaxy S22.

No clue how people can exist without a proper computer at home and still do stuff online.

Ctrl + C literally doesn’t work at times, it drives me crazy. It might be due to some shitty applications and websites overriding it or adding complexity (Like copying not only the text but additional information).

I’m often 100% sure I copied the text, change the window and an old clipboard entry gets pasted.

There’s no Visual Studio for Linux, so yeah… especially as a .NET dev.

Visual Studio Code isn’t the same.

They’ve already done this with Windows 10, get new material!
