Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it’s development related

    Yeah dev home is pretty much useless at this point.

    Back when it just launched, they marketed it as it would introduce cool stuff to developers like, what I’m waiting for the most, git repositories Explorer integration. But all we have is a constantly crashing app and two extra widgets for the widget panel.

    Dev drives are also cool but they’re the part of Windows anyway, no dev home needed.

      Dev drives

      Mom, can we have fast i/o with many small files?

      No, we have fast i/o with many small files at home.

        Instead of io stuff I just use it as a current snapshot of my dev stuff including repos. Super-easy and super-fast to sync to my other devices just as a vhdx file over any wifi network. Yeah it’s not dev drive specific feature but still, I started doing so because of dev drive

      Dev Home is a new control center for Windows providing the ability to monitor projects in your dashboard using customizable widgets, set up your dev environment by downloading apps, packages, or repositories, connect to your developer accounts and tools (such as GitHub), and create a Dev Drive for storage all in one place.

      • Use the centralized dashboard with customizable widgets to monitor workflows, track your dev projects, coding tasks, GitHub issues, pull requests, available SSH connections, and system CPU, GPU, Memory, and Network performance.
      • Use the Machine configuration tool to set up your development environment on a new device or onboard a new dev project.
      • Use Dev Home extensions to set up widgets that display developer-specific information. Create and share your own custom-built extensions.
      • Create a Dev Drive to store your project files and Git repositories.

        I am so tired of Linux users who scream “I use X btw” everywhere… Like maybe it was cool some decade ago, but now it’s just annoying seeing it wherever I go. I hope Photon will eventually feature content filtering by keywords.

          Imagine your identity being what OS is on your computer. And I’m a Linux sysadmin lol

          Also Linux people bash Windows server but it’s actually getting pretty good. I am running some server 2022 instances right now and they just work. I was tasked to make a gold image but I found basically nothing to strip away from the install out of box. Try it before you bash it.

            Free and open source software are good examples of an alternative to the way we manage labor today. Wanting gay space communism is as much a part of my personality as me liking Star Trek and Linux. Moreso they are part of the same coherent picture.
