Seeing David Heinemeier Hansson so excited about Linux on the desktop and building his ultimate web developer setup https://omarchy.org/ is inspiring! Check out the first 5 minutes of the video on the front page

Large numbers of developers only work in Linux, and refuse to work in MacOS. No dev worth their salt works in Windows.

I work with a very competent dev who uses Windows. I've even gotten him to the point of helping me to champion Nix dev shells. But he prefers to use those through WSL ¯\(ツ)/¯

So you're saying if I pivot to windows, I can find a real job?

Yep most devs work with Linux in some way. We have to use windows for work but we deploy on linux.

lol. Tell that to my team who has been developing our product for Windows for 25-30 years, generating probably a billion euros over the years.

Can't tell if you're just joking or not but either way. 😄

C++, desktop scientific mathematical software for Windows.

By the way, you seem a bit on edge. You okay?

Disclaimer, I am using Linux at home and work, I work on a tangential thing to the rest of my team. I'm just saying, these are very much senior devs worth their salt, and that you made a bad take. But I do agree with you that Windows is not nice to work in.
