Seeing David Heinemeier Hansson so excited about Linux on the desktop and building his ultimate web developer setup https://omarchy.org/ is inspiring! Check out the first 5 minutes of the video on the front page
Ah yes, NeoNaziOS. We definitely want that to go mainstream.

(seriously, if you don’t know who DHH is please do some research…his HEY World blog + X account is rife with stuff that’ll make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. 😬)
Wait until DHH finds NixOS, where we can configure everything via single configuration. Even multiple machines.
I love Debian for what it taught me, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever use anything else.
Yes, NixOS - and also Niri so your tiled windows don’t resize themselves, and you get the extra-fancy screen cast and screen shot features. That’s what I use, therefore it is the best.
Tried Niri. Didn’t like the default shortcuts, but those can be changed of course. However, I couldn’t get the current darkman state to be recognized by apps. Not sure what I have to do there.
I would love for him to find NixOS and then create a better version.
Large numbers of developers only work in Linux, and refuse to work in MacOS. No dev worth their salt works in Windows.

lol. Tell that to my team who has been developing our product for Windows for 25-30 years, generating probably a billion euros over the years.
Can’t tell if you’re just joking or not but either way. 😄
I prefer Windows over Mac
Apple sucks
I work with a very competent dev who uses Windows. I’ve even gotten him to the point of helping me to champion Nix dev shells. But he prefers to use those through WSL ¯\(ツ)/¯
So you’re saying if I pivot to windows, I can find a real job?
Yep most devs work with Linux in some way. We have to use windows for work but we deploy on linux.
Personally, i have a strong preference for Linux, but I don’t care if it’s a Mac. It’s unix-like enough, and all my stuff works. In fact, I already have a NixOS + Nix-darwin setup going really well. Windows though is just a hard no
