But well, you might also be running into a bug or something that could potentially be exploited, or maybe just into a lack of documentation (which is also a bug). Either way, some devs might be interested in knowing about this.
Love that they’re making these accessibility improvements as an open platform that other DEs can also leverage. Linux and Linux programs are going to become a lot more accessible to people because of this foundational work.
Compliments to the gnome devs and to the STF, accessibility is something very important that understandably doesn’t usually receive much development.
Yeah, I mean if you want to get picky, the actual i386 processor family hasn’t been supported by the Linux kernel since 2012, and was dropped by Debian in 2007.
Most people were generally not particularly affected by that, seeing as the last i386 chip was released in (I think) 1989!
Debian’s choice to refer to the whole x86-32 line as i386 has always been a weird historical quirk.
I write C# for a living and I’m the same - Windows at work, Linux at home.
I use VSCode on both OSes. On Linux, I only use VSCode for C# and I have the MS-free version for any other languages I want to use.
I also use VSCode 95% on my work laptop which is a Windows machine. The extension Ms are really good and the dotnet CLI is pretty robust. There are also extensions that can help you deploy stuff to Azure too.
I used to think that I wanted to distro hop. Turns out that what I wanted was a bare bones OS that gave me the freedom to rice in strange and unnatural ways.
After 25(!) years of battling X11, dependency hells, and the early days of desktop compositing, I finally realized that what I wanted was Arch, and a few window managers to play with. SwayWM, and now Hyprland.
Unless you have some niche needs (real-time audio encoding) or want to play with more esoteric experiments (Nix, OSTree, etc), distro hopping is overkill.
But most distros have homogenized to the point to where all you need is knowledge about systemd to go from one to the other.
Just pick your favorite, non-snap distro and hack on it.
I try different distros just out of curiosity. I’ve used several that look promising, but there always seems to be some little thing I end up not liking. I usually end up going back to Zorin, which to me feels a lot like Mint. If Mint works well for you, use it. While many Linux users tend to distro-hop quite a bit, if you just want a computer that works for what you need it to do, stick with what does that for you.
What are you running your containers on? I just put my VPN on the docker host so I could be sure I could use the firewall to block traffic from going out except over the VPN.
Another Rider user. I write mainly backed code, and integrations etc. Work is Rider and Datagrip on windows. Home is Debian KDE with Rider and Datagrip. I love it. If only I can convince my it group to allow Debian on my work computer.
