Webdev and mobile are best done on Macs and Linux boxes.

What the fuck is Windows good for aside from muh gaymes? I own a Windows PC and I am asking myself this question. Before I started CS, I got it for Starcraft II. I developed on it because it's what I had. Now it's just a muh gaymes machine.

I tried to make a UWP version of my Xamarin app and it just clusterfucks and fails, so now I have no code transferability. (Never use Xamarin btw. I am abandoning it this year.)

Also, what the fuck is with the GNOME vs. Unity controversy? I've used both. Who gives a flying fuck? I just use Unity because it's the default.

windows = windows 10 apps
mac = iphone apps
linux = everything else

Useless outside of the shrinking Windows market.
>>59762164
No one uses Windows 10. Windows 7 has more users.
>>
>>59762139
Windows.
>>
>>59762204
Windows doesn't need apps.

Games are the only new "apps" being made for Windows.
>>
>>59762139
Well I mean, nothing. Windows doesn't ship with a compiler, I'm sure you can install some but then its not something "windows" is good
at is it rather that specific piece of software.

Then again it doesn't have to be, Its a desktop OS not a ready to go development suite.
>>
>>59762251
That's so retarded. You can install VS in like an hour if you have a shit internet connection.

Asp.net c# vb

only good for windows
>vb

>>59762270
My point would then indicate that it is VS that is good for development not Windows. Windows doesn't just automatically inherit the credit of every piece of software that can be installed on it.

For example if you are running an older version of Windows and you have pretty bad specs, that a good development environment does not make
>>
>>59762270
That's only if you check the C# and stuff

If you want any other language, you will be sitting there for hours

That's not good

>My point would then indicate that it is VS that is good for development not Windows.

You're full retard dude. I bet you've never been paid to code.

Just because Ubuntu ships with GCC and gedit, doesn't mean it's "good for development."

Devs don't use W7 btw, so you're argument is dumb as shit.

>>59762313

No I mean all that stuff checked. I meant shit internet, not American internet.

>>59762139
Embedded.
Vendor tools tend to only support Windows.
>>
>>59762283
Asp.net is still used in corporate and enterprise development its just not popular in your typical startup dev
C# used both in web, api and win desktop that can be used in linux(.net core)
Vb is a perfect tool for learning basic programming

Almost all embedded software uses the Linux kernel. IDEs are meaningless.

Try again.
>>
>>59762371
No it doesn't.
>>
>>59762327
I never said Ubuntu is better, I"m saying "Windows" can't even compete to be better or worse because you can't develop on it natively as it has no compiler.

The correct thing to say would be Visual Studio is a good environment, and that is ignoring the fact that you can run it on linux.

Furthermore virtual machines and containers exist so I think OP is misguided, since you can run DE from one OS on Windows or vice versa.

>>59762409

So you admit that you have never been paid to code. Opinions discarded.
>>
>>59762427
Yes I have never been paid to code. I didn't state any opinion, it is fact that windows doesn't have a compiler native.
>>
>>59762371
>Embeded software that uses linux kernel that have support\warranty\etc..
Literally doesn't exist
>>
>>59762427
I'm not talking about embedded Linux or Windows.
I'm talking about development tools for microcontrollers.
>>
>>59762441
>Yes I have never been paid to code
Sure you have. Go be gay somewhere else.

>>59762450
Just uses some other Unix-like clone.

>>59762452
Windows isn't required for writing C fuckhead.
>>
>>59762462
I wasn't lying or being sarcastic and that wasn't a typo, I am just a student. all I did was state a fact.
>>
>>59762462
>Windows isn't required for writing C fuckhead.
It is if the development tools for the architecture in use are Windows-only
>>
>>59762139
>dev is too hard on wangblows waaaa
Kys retard

>>59762486
>development tools

>muh IDE means its Windows only :^(

Can you feel my balls in your mouth? Do they taste nice and salty?

>>59762495

It's easy but there's no reason for it.
>>
>>59762504
t. never dealt with nonfree shitware embedded development.

good luck with that.
>>
>>59762504
Who the fuck is talking about IDEs, you braindead retard?

Try getting even a FOSS assembler or drivers for the programmer for a MCU, that's not popular among hobbyists.
>>
>>59762551
>>59762581

MicroPython is open source. You guys are gay.
>>
>>59762606
I'm not saying it's a good thing, but you haven't seen real terror yet and be happy for it.

I've literally quit for how retarded embedded development is.

it's literally so cancer, i almost wish for a software defined everything world and damn the performance costs of said world.
