Last week at work I got a new project on .NET Framework. As a good developer I tried to run it on Linux using .NET Core but I failed and my work's ...

I still don't understand this idea that Linux somehow has something that Windows doesn't when it comes to development. I develop in multiple languages and have never found the need to use Linux or found Windows lacking in any way so it would be interesting to hear what you think Linux brings to the table that Windows does not as surely a good developer should just be using what they feel most comfortable with?
My last windows development experience is a bit dated and many things happended - especially WSL happendend. So what I have to tell is cum grano salis. My last experience is from late 2014/early 2015.
I was a Java developer - no problem here. But what made me go away was, that I was a) accustomed to a linux shell (cygwin is no help) and b) part of my toolchain - e.g. git - needed a minimal unixy environment done with MSYS. And the really awkward part started, when you whad severeal MSYS environments on your machine which interfered with one another (+ your cygwin environment) and required you to carefully rewrite the sequence in the $PATH (what should trump what) so to say.
So doing Java everything was fine. But doing additionally scripting in ruby and having somewhere a perl in your cygwin could make your life harder.
My conclusion is:
developing C# in windows with Visual Studio (Professional) works like a breeze and has everything to offer, to develop for windows
developing Java is nice under windows and linux as well. I experienced no differences
using something like ruby (or e.g. python had some known bugs on windows and who cares for that?) in combination with other *nix-centric ecosystems made my life harder as it should be
From my experience, *nix systems were per se developer centric - you could fix your own system, if you leave apple out in this point - and offer a rich integration, which microsoft for years neglected.
Only the last years, they are going to reconquer developer's hearts with WSL.
windows sucks away lots of resources and it have many background services that keep my laptop busy (security center cannot be disabled, cannot switch to manual updates, etc).
With many Linux distros you can have more control over your workstation and more resorces available.
I can only see this as a problem if your machine isn't up for the task in the first place. Again, I've never had any issues with Windows.
Well, yeah, if you are filthy rich and can afford a filthy powerful machine, then you can even use a virtualized MacOS xD.
Jokes apart, you are right, but in my case I have to do very different types of work on my machine: python development, nodejs, frontend, spin up virtual machines, use containers, etc, so I always felt I need as many resources as possible from my laptop. For instance, I think disk usage is an issue with windows. I'm developing a xamarin app, and visualstudio+xamarin take gigas and gigas of disk space (it's not the OS, though, maybe I am a little OT :). Ever felt this way?
You can disable those by booting windows in safe mode
Okay pardon my newbie and dumb question, but can I run bash scripts(.sh) using Zsh?
And also, and this is just my opinion, have you given Ubuntu MATE a try? I prefer it above all Ubuntu flavors... specially the flagship Ubuntu that now comes with GNOME Shell...
Lastly, yeah, fucking Windows...
There aren't dumb questions :) Feel free to ask.
Yes, you can run bash scripts because zsh is just an extension.
And no, I haven't tried Ubuntu Mate yet, maybe I should give a try at home's computer :D
“There arent dumb questions”. Try this on stackoverflow and you would wish u didn’t exist 😜
I am mostly with you. I jave a few variations on your setup though.
I prefer Neovim to vim
I prefer Prezto to oh-my-zsh
In terms of Windows, what I always found lacking was a decent terminal and shell. Those are different things.
For terminal, I now use ConEmu (and wsltty sometimes) and love it... A lot.
For shell, cmd is too different from *nix shells to be useful to me. And I have never been comfortable with PowerShell, though I wish I was as it's very powerful. For me it comes down to growing up using Unix command line and finding that to use Windows, my knowledge only makes me better on Windows... but learn *nix shell scripting and you can use that anywhere.
Re-opening your terminal would be enough.
I tried but no luck hahaha. Restarting worked, I dont know why.
You don't need to restart. Just open your regular terminal/shell and type
zshand your current shell will be replaced by it. If you want to start to use it without this workaround, you can close your current user session and open it again, after you changed your shell configs.I wanted to start using VIM but it feels like it's too hardcore for me, I'm just a beginner, Although I've thought about forcing myself to use it
In my next post I will cover the commands I use day-to-day. So don't worry, I know it's hard, but with this setup made it easier
Use whatever u r comfortable with, although it s a must to know basic vim commands. Is handy when u need to log in to linux servers for basic dev tasks
I usually use neovim instead vim on Ubuntu.
Out of curiosity, what drives you to Neovim instead of Vim Classic?
You can read more here.
Roadmap: Roadmap
In essence, neovim provides many common default settings for you. It is a refactor of traditional vim, keep good parts of vim and also an effort to make vim more productive.
Sorry that Windows blue-screened on you, Jorge. Glad you were able to channel your anger into something constructive (i.e., this post).
Windows is a very good development environment. Especially if you are all-in on the Windows way of developing.
If you have not drank the Windows flavor-ade, you can still go a long way using WSL, or Cygwin, or even SFU (although I think WSL supersedes SFU, but not everyone is on Windows 10). One foot in each world. Of those, my personal preference is Cygwin.
There is a native (GUI) Windows build of Vim. (Just as there is a native build of Vim for Mac, called... MacVim.)
For doing .NET development, Visual Studio is hard to beat. If you are doing Mono development on an non-Windows platform, Visual Studio (formerly Xamarin) for that non-Windows platforms is highly recommended. I did all my F# coding for Mono on a Macintosh, without a hitch. Only thing lacking was WPF, since WPF is tightly coupled to DirectX — probably why Microsoft hasn't open-sourced WPF as they've done with so many other .NET technologies. (Open-source kudos to Microsoft under the Satya leadership era!)
Code on!
You don't need to restart the computer, however you have to logout and login again.
Cheers on the setup.
I can't believe it when Microsoft launch .Net Core and say that can runs in Windows, Linux and Mac.
I decided migrate my bash/bat scripts and test in a console application and it's fucking true.
Now with vscode and .Net Core no matters the OS that you choose as developer.
In past years I worked with Windows, Linux and now with MacOS... and learn that all have problems and BSD (freezes and restarts). Even need formated time to time, all of them.
Remap capslock to esc and vice versa :)
VSCode is killing it smoothly, I'm loving the array of extensions it has
If you love zsh shell and emoji's with fish icon.
You will love this zsh theme

Very good :D
