just over the last 5 years alone, microslop has stolen finite resources and refused to relinquish them under the guise of a better "user experience". these resources are important to the stability and development of systems locally. unfortunately microslop's solution is "use Azure remote services".

everything microslop does is to drive users to their cloud services.

I'll put it down to numbers for you if it's not clear.

I can spend $1000 on a laptop, install Linux, and run 20± containers AND have a usable desktop environment for the next 10+ years.

I can spend $1500 on a laptop, install microslop and run 5+ containers AND have a slightly sluggish desktop environment for the next 6 months to a year, PLUS have my entire device bricked by an update or two within that time. microslop's solution? "sync your files to onedrive".

this is why windows sucks for developing unless you're locked into microslop's development programs.

if you're doing c#, batch, .NET, or even Java, you're probably fine using Windows. if you're doing 80% of the rest of any development, you're better off using Linux.

You could have had some great points, but the fact that you use "microslop" unironically shows how much of a bias you have. Meaning your points might as well not exist.

You sound like an anti-vaxxer blaming everything wrong with their life on big pharma.

you could have argued against my great points but instead to fixated on a singular word that rustled your jimmies. Meaning your opinions are invalid.

I couldn't understand most of what you said because of that sloppy microcock in your mouth.

ill argue. the last 5 years has saw significant inprovment for developers.

the dev drive

sudo

ssh

a fantastic terminal

wtf is a dev drive?

wsl what?

you mean putty?

wsl what??

WSL is inherently flawed because it isn't fully integrated with the kernel. WSL is literally an abstraction layer of linux that sits on top of the existing windows device. it's no better than cygwin. microslop developed a way to run VMs and mount the whole c drive inside it, that's WSL in a nutshell.

after doing some light research, it seems a dev drive is just a special file mount inside the linux abstraction layer.

all I can say...
