[–] 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

At first, a lot. Not so much recently though. It's definitely more work though I'll admit. Sometimes that's the price to pay for privacy. Also, I learn a lot of skills that could help me get a good paying job by doing it.

    Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

    Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it's a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

    Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

    Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

    8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the "Rust in Linux Lead" is ridiculous. I'm not saying you are harassing. But, saying it's a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn't do justice to how many devs just like rust.

    NixOS. Not in a good way. I love the idea of configuring your entire system with a configuration file. However, on my laptop I couldn't get the KDE live boot image to boot into the GUI. So, I tried the gnome live image, successfully, and used it to install KDE. I thought that I was in the clear but then sddm wasn't working. I had to disable it to get nixos to boot into KDE.

    I mean, I fixed it. But, with an intel APU from 2014, I haven't had any problems with this laptop running Arch, Debian, Linux mint, or Fedora.
