Excerpt
I’ve been developing on Linux for years — sometimes it feels like a dream, other times it’s a fight with drivers and tooling. In this video I share my honest opinion on how easy (or frustrating) it is to be a developer on a Linux machine, the common pitfalls, and practical tips to make it smoother. What I cover: Why Linux can make development fast and flexible (package managers, shells, tooling) The common pain points (hardware drivers, fragmentation, GUI tooling gaps) Language and stack considerations (web, systems, embedded, Python, Node, Rust, Go) Workflows that make Linux great (dotfiles, containers, WSL, virtualization)
