From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's quite common knowledge, Microsoft does horrible operating systems but great dev tools. Visual Studio (not vscode) was amazing to develop software.
And thanks god we don't have to deal with Eclipse anymore.
The real question would be why the open source community cannot create a better dev tool that's not outmatched by a glorified text editor.
Used to use visual studio, I actually far prefer using Vscode now studio is far too heavy and clunky for my liking
Fair enough. It's also a beast of its time. Now that everything is JavaScript or similar, vscode just works better.
I hate vscode. I hate that gitlab emulated that shit in its webIDE. I code all day and I'm astonished people have pleasant thoughts about it as I sit and wait for that ugly crud to load.
"Better than eclipse" isn't the same as "good"
Free software made a better editor in the '80s. Go learn.
No it's not that steaming shite vi nor its feotid ilk.
