It is nice to see improvements to the file chooser, but why do buttons look so different from all other buttons in Gnome? What was wrong with the less rounded buttons?

I wonder what someone has to do to have worse looking font rendering on Linux. I find the font rendering on Windows worse in every regard and inconsistent (size). On Linux I just set hinting to slight and anti-aliasing to greyscale and all my fonts look nice. Same font with same size on Windows (VSCode is the only program I use on both OS) looks slightly blurred; only the fact that my work display has a higher pixels density makes it ok for me.

That's why they are only half the length. ^^

Yes, the minimize button can go away as soon there is an extension that re-adds it for users running gnome classic (a set of gnome shell extensions which includes a classic task bar).

Thx, that was what I needed to understand Fedora atomic a bit better. Cool concept!

Does Fedora atomic use a rolling release model?

Had to do this on Win11, it worked.

Exactly, this is the reason I use Gentoo on my Zen3 12c w/ 32gb RAM. Smooth and clean. Nothing should stutter below 60 FPS or lagging when I hit a key on the keyboard.

Gentoo user here. I look at system load while compiling. (: But most of the time I can use my PC while portage is doing it's job.

If you don't play the latest game titles with DRM you should be good to go on Linux: Steam runs great in a flatpak sandbox.

I don't know how compatible mono is with dotnet. Interestingly, some game launchers need it and protontricks can handle many issues. Have look at protondb. Back to work: Someone needs to confirm whether MSSQL server can be run on Linux, but I am almost sure that you won't be able to run the gui of it. But you can connect to it using DBeaver (Java-based) or a VSCode plugin. As for C# development on Linux, I don't know.

I wish I could switch to Linux at work, too, but standardization of work environments seems to be the problem. I would even consider Ubuntu 22.04 LTS if my employer woul allow it. Last time I asked, time was the real reason. Time savings in the long run, currently don't matter. I will ask later and if they still tell me, it's too risky, I will look elsewhere.

Our dev setup doesn't even have the constraints you have for your work. It is all docker-based with Ubuntu Linux containers. It would run faster on Linux even if we could switch to WSL2. And I would argue, that Linux is more standardized than Windows.

I hope you get your stuff running on Linux; market share needs to go up so that all the managers don't fear it. (:
