cyangames	Finally gave in and installed Windows on the desktop last night, a night or two of setting everything back up and I should be back in my ’’coding @ home’’ again -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Linux is nice but... No Photoshop, No Flash, No Preferrable Text Editor... It's great for general use, but I'm so used to my current tool chain, I jumped back over. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Yeah, it's hard to get away from your favourite tools. It's even more difficult to get away from your "not quite favourite, but infrequently used" tools, because those are the real ones that you find yourself struggling to replace. Even 3.5 years into being a Primarily MacOS user, i'm still finding Windows handy for "the little things" I just wish Windows wasn't so.. .. What's the word.. "Microsoft"? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

AndyH	I've really wanted to love Linux, but I've always struggled with it and I have no patience to tinker anymore. I've got a lovely Intel mac book from 2010 which let me run osx and Windows at the same time thanks to great VM support. Used that for a long time. It would drive me crazy to do everything the Apple way. How are you doing the Windows stuff now? -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

Jayenkai	I don't mind WordPress, in theory, but it got WAY too big for my use case. Sure, I might have a multitude of content on my site, but I don't need even a sixth of the functionality that WordPress forces onto your install, slowing everything down as a result. Nah, minimalism for me! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Dan	If you consider that Windows 10 can run windows XP apps/tools/games ... a software library of 20ish years ... that is really hard to beat, for any system. Back in the days, the backwards compatibility was the main reason to switch to the new systems. IDK if windows developer really want to throw that away, because, for me, windows 11 is does not have anything worth switching. Yes, in the past ... speed was one of the reasons to upgrade. But: If you think about the premise: "Windows is now running even faster" .... (but you need a faster computer to run windows) then WTF
