Steam Deck is definitely paving the way in terms of demonstrating a consumer use case for Linux, but I would be shocked if there are even 1/100th the number of them in the wild as there are Chromebooks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 25 points 2 years ago ChromeOS is listed in a separate category. permalink fedilink source parent [β] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) I have a deck, a few old laptops that have all gone Linux now, and a windows desktop for gaming. The deck being so good, and Windows 11 being so bad, has nearly convinced me to try Linux on the actual desktop. I think there are still a few games and applications (I'm primarily a C# dev for work) that I "need" Windows for but the case for dropping as much MS from my life as possible has never been stronger. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago I do C# dev for work also but use Linux. You'll have to use Rider for Visual Studio and Datagrip for Sql Server Management Studio. Only drawback I have is that Edit and Continue only works on dotnet > 8.0. You might need to do a tiny bit of extra support for the launchsettings.json since you'll need to launch with kestrel server instead of IIS Express. Legacy dotnet will need an old Ubuntu/Whatever so some docker knowledge may be required since MS didn't release a snap/flatpak of dotnet yet. π I use Linux for gaming and dev with a highly customized KDE+bash setup and I love it. :) permalink fedilink source parent [β] Mo5560@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago I can't speak for everyone but I used to say "I can't drop windows because I need XYZ programs all the time". Well turns out I don't, and turns out it's surprisingly easy to tell my employer (well my professor really, I am a PhD student) "Sorry I can't run that program, I don't have windows". If they don't accept it, they can supply me with a windows PC. permalink fedilink source parent
