If Windows sucked so bad, why did you never man up and try your best to
find a Linux developer job?

I dunno, man, why did you decide to come back to COLA to whinge
about Linux? OCD? Off your meds?

I don't know about Chris but I got the job I just retired from after 25
years BECAUSE I could work with Linux. Most of the clients never tumbled
to it but they were running Linux software on their Windows boxes,
including an X server and Motif GUIs.

DFS is just a sourpuss. You're damned if you don't use Windows,
damned if you do use Windows.

Doesn't even know what :-D means, apparently.

In any case, I *did* develop a Linux project at work. It was fun.
Porting our Windows project to Linux. The other Linux jobs were
basically sysadmin on RedHat boxes, not dev jobs.

And now I don't have to use Windows, though I do make sure my
stuff builds on Windows, every so often.

Toolchain on both? Bash, vim, Qt Creator, NSIS, git.
The only difference is on Windows I use Mingw instead of the stock
C/C++ tools on Linux.
