Literally how do you get into serious computer touching without ever installing yourself Linux, I don't get it? :psyduck:

@vaporeon_ javascript development is very easy on modern bloated OS's now :]

hell, you could even open the javascript console on your web browser and fuck around and find out

@The_T @vaporeon_ javascript is wonderful but web development is often giga-ass

@wallhackio @The_T I do have to concede that the browser has really helpful developer tools

If I am confused about why the HTML/CSS of my website is not working, I can open the dev tools and poke around, look how it interprets the CSS, what happens if I change a line or two, and so on... Pretty cool

@vaporeon_ @The_T the profiling tools are AMAZING too it is insane how good they are

@vaporeon_ @The_T a really fun project i made was to benchmark a "deep clone" package i wrote so i could compare it to other popular packages

I did it by making a very simple (and kinda ugly) HTML page that runs all of the packages :]

@vaporeon_ if it makes you feel any better when i was in physics i did use entirely linux (or macintosh) for c++ development

@vaporeon_ I never actually set up the linux environment, it was essentially gifted to us. I really had no idea what to do when left on my own and I was so busy as a grad student I didn't have time to learn what I was doing

@wallhackio At least install the modern bloated OS that isn't owned by Microsoft
(So Linux. It can also be modern and bloated...)

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio I thought Macintosh was the modern bloated OS that isn't owned by Microsoft
