As for Windows, I don't know of any methods to get Windows running outside of macOS, but many people utilize Parallels for Windows apps or the desktop experience.
I stay away from “Full stack” dev roles. Keeping a UI current with all their demands and so many dependency updates is a full time job on its own. Then on top of that I need to implement back end systems and stay on top of security? Hire two people you cheap bastards!
Anyone who says the guy was "enjoying the show differently" is an idiot. They were just screwing up the show for the people behind them, and they're probably a sociopath.
As for possible reasons he was on his phone;
Argument with partner/friend - possibility resulting in them not going - spilled into the show via text (should have left)
Planted security, already seen the show a dozen times, just waiting for something rowdy enough to require intervention
Music/event/venue reviewer (seen all kinds of reviewers who apparently have a 5 second memory insist on taking notes in-situ. Movie critics are the fucking worst about this.)
Work "emergency", fixing from phone
Could probably come up with more, but it would be along these lines.
Like I said, he was playing games on his phone, so there was no emergency. We watched him do a crossword puzzle while we were trying to not be distracted.
Okay, yeah, either the security guard thing, or maybe their group was elsewhere and they were the designated driver or something? I dunno, totally dumb that they we in the middle of the audience and not in the back row or in their car.
As a newbie in this space, I had interactions with a few distros over the years and lately switched (hopefully) permanently.
My first experience was with Mint 10 years ago. Installing it would cause some GPU driver defect (AMD card) and would turn the whole login screen into an epileptic checkerboard pattern with no way of doing anything. It took me a few reinstalls and a ungodly amount of googling to find a solution which involved opening the terminal at boot process. You can only imagine how frustating that can be for a newcomer.
Later in time I had Ubuntu on my laptop which had a bug that wouldn’t spin up the CPU fan and it would simply overheat and shutdown. I had to take it to a technician to find out what was causing the random shutdowns.
A year ago I decided to try Debian on my desktop PC as many have praized it for it’s rock-wolid stability. It didn’t want to work on my PC. No internet connection and some weird bugs. Took me two-three days to get ti to work and I still don’t know what exactly fixed it as I have applied every possible solition I came across.
Much later, aka now, I decided to go with Bazzite on my desktop as many have claimed excelent support. I wanted to install the mimalloc because I play Factorio a lot and a few reddit posts claimed 20% UPS improvement over the stock scheduler. After downloading the source code and following the 4 very easy steps, cmake would throw some random eerors at me claiming some critical files were missing, although they were right there in the usr directory. Turns us Bazzite some some issue and Fedora 40 compiled the code in seconds without any issues.
Conclusion: Linux users, which are very tech savvy or work in that space, know what to do when things don’t work out, while the rest of us keeps googling and crying over error messages for things that seem trivial. You never seem to know if it’s you, the system or your hardware.
It’s something we’ll take for granted. With enough time and experience, you could fire off a one liner to fix a problem in less than a minute. For most people thst could take an hour, and they’d probably give up within 10 minutes
