Just venting here. A few months back, I started university, studying Computer Science. I got into C++ because it was the required language, and honestly, I really grew to like it. It's one of my favorites now. But then I hit a wall that made me seriously consider switching languages.

I've been on Linux for ages, and the thing is, C++ uses different libraries on Linux compared to Windows. This meant all the code I wrote for a video game totally crapped out when I tried to share it with my team. It was a massive pain in the ass. And Windows libraries are so much easier to deal with than Linux ones, it's ridiculous.

This whole mess has me wanting to jump to Java, since no matter what OS you're on, the code just works. Fuck proprietary code and Microsoft.

Write once, test everywhere.

I switched to Windows after years of Linux cause muh games.
Honestly, I'm thinking of going back.
Programmers should use Linux.
Simple as.
All the programming stuff is made for Linux, you will hit a wall with Windows.

Unless you are a game dev, then stick to Windows.

Java is actually a sane language with a sane toolchain, a sane standard library, and a development cycle that actually releases features frequently and full of content.
Fuck Bjarne and everything that nigger makes.

based but who the fuck does game dev on linux without portability in mind

Yeah that's why you never use loonix
>>105963826
Nothing is made for loonix, nobody uses it, 90% of all software made for desktops is made for windows.

Nobody except larping trannies.
