I think all this was a response to severely outdated Windows machines being infected with worms and what not. Microsoft got bad press for this and went (way) overboard with trying to force users to install updates as soon as released.
I had to try three window managers until I was able to use fractional scaling in such a way that my main 4K 32" screen shows 150% and my secondary screen shows a sharp image because Gnome cannot do fractional scaling only on one screen and for some reason 100% resulted in a blurry image.
The window manager crashed multiple times when I tried to unlock it.
Whenever I woke up my screen the whole system froze, apparently because of the USB hub in the monitor which registered. So far the only solution has been to disconnect the USB hub.
Fan control doesn't work properly because the chipset isn't supported.
I see rendering issues with window decorations all the time.
That's just after two weeks. I can't remember the last time my windows froze or crashed or had display errors. Whenever I'm in the console or do IO heavy stuff I feel right at home but as a desktop OS it's still inferior to me. I don't have fewer problems on Linux, just different ones.
Emphasis mine. Sounds like they're not ruling it out.
And sdkman is written in rust and only needs curl, zip and unzip, no JVM.
Which has worked well for quite some time but I don't believe I'll every see any of the money I'm currently paying into the system.
"docker save | ssh | docker load transfers the entire image, even if 90% already exists on the server"
But to contradict myself, I actually use windows, WSL and oracle cloud to build for windows x86, linux x86 and linux ARM64 to build a java desktop application. Of course I'd prefer it if I could just use my main machine and OS to build all those like Go can.
This is the first time I've seen a blog-type entry there. I understand the appeal, though, as it doesn't even require an account to create it.
