“Most favorable review” 🤣

Ironfacebuster OP ,

That was my favorite part, their system tried so hard to find a highly rated review and that’s what it got instead

darkghosthunter ,

What’s dissapointing about Dev Home is that it offers nothing of value to the average developer, let alone somebody start it.

Given the power of containerization and WSL2, you would expect it could create development environments for a given app, like creating a firmware for a microcontroller using Rust, or a backend using Typescript, and even bring common tools or toolchains. Instead, we get some widgets and that’s it.

LemmysMum ,

It’s not a dev tool, it’s designed to force you to stay with the Windows environment by trying to regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

I don’t understand what this means.

Lmaydev ,

As a side note, I love Winget. It took them long enough to add it but it id so handy.

Anti_Face_Weapon ,

Yes! Why did it take them so long?

allywilson ,

It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.

I am so tired of Linux users who scream “I use X btw” everywhere… Like maybe it was cool some decade ago, but now it’s just annoying seeing it wherever I go. I hope Photon will eventually feature content filtering by keywords.

Imagine your identity being what OS is on your computer. And I’m a Linux sysadmin lol

Also Linux people bash Windows server but it’s actually getting pretty good. I am running some server 2022 instances right now and they just work. I was tasked to make a gold image but I found basically nothing to strip away from the install out of box. Try it before you bash it.

Free and open source software are good examples of an alternative to the way we manage labor today. Wanting gay space communism is as much a part of my personality as me liking Star Trek and Linux. Moreso theyvare part of the same coherent picture.

Allero ,

The very nature and origin of Windows is part of the problem.

Going Linux is as much of a political choice as it is a practical one. Software must be free, and Linux shows it very much can, while remaining practical up to the very enterprise level, data centers and supercomputers. and while we normally don’t think of enterprises as champions of free software, their influence is essentially the greatest.

Been hearing that since the 90s, but win NT is actually pretty good, it just works. Nah thanks, I’m no longer a sysadmin and haven’t tried Windows past 2000 server I think, but unless you are stuck with running Windows specific stuff (it was sql server for me at the time), and assuming you have a say in the company/project you work on, why bother?

@rab@lemmy.ca avatar

Windows was horrible back then.

const_void ,

Agreed. It’s stupid and played out. Enough already. Also please stop calling desktop themes “rice”.

ignotum ,

Yeah i agree, like who uses X anymore?

I use Wayland btw

jaemo ,

Lol at all the hostile responses not getting that this is a meme. Freaking whoosh.

sheogorath ,

One thing I learned about Lemmy is their users are much more serious. There’s a lot of obviously sarcastic comments getting replies treating it as a serious comment here.

Dev Home is a new control center for Windows providing the ability to monitor projects in your dashboard using customizable widgets, set up your dev environment by downloading apps, packages, or repositories, connect to your developer accounts and tools (such as GitHub), and create a Dev Drive for storage all in one place.

  • Use the centralized dashboard with customizable widgets to monitor workflows, track your dev projects, coding tasks, GitHub issues, pull requests, available SSH connections, and system CPU, GPU, Memory, and Network performance.
  • Use the Machine configuration tool to set up your development environment on a new device or onboard a new dev project.
  • Use Dev Home extensions to set up widgets that display developer-specific information. Create and share your own custom-built extensions.
  • Create a Dev Drive to store your project files and Git repositories.

LemmysMum ,

So more unnecessary middle man trash designed to tie users more permanently to their OS choice. Nothing new then.

Secret300 ,

Bro I really thought that dude meant winget until I saw your comment. I just accepted he used a GUI for packages

Rainmeter?

An application to add stuff/widgets to your windows desktop

@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I meant that more as a question what Rainmeter has to do with the post being about dev home

Shjosan ,
@Shjosan@sopuli.xyz avatar

Ohh, I guessing because dev home has a couple of dashboards widgets

egerlach ,

TIL about Rainmeter. This thread has done some good, beyond the obvious good of mocking Dev Home.

dan ,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

It’s only called Rainmeter if it’s from the Pluvimètre region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling Windows Vista widgets.

xmunk ,

A review that deserves more stars than the thing it’s reviewing.

Gallardo994 ,

Yeah dev home is pretty much useless at this point.

Back when it just launched, they marketed it as it would introduce cool stuff to developers like, what I’m waiting for the most, git repositories Explorer integration. But all we have is a constantly crashing app and two extra widgets for the widget panel.

Dev drives are also cool but they’re the part of Windows anyway, no dev home needed.

crispy_kilt ,

Dev drives

Mom, can we have fast i/o with many small files?

No, we have fast i/o with many small files at home.

Fast i/o with many small files at home:

Gallardo994 ,

Instead of io stuff I just use it as a current snapshot of my dev stuff including repos. Super-easy and super-fast to sync to my other devices just as a vhdx file over any wifi network. Yeah it’s not dev drive specific feature but still, I started doing so because of dev drive

crispy_kilt ,

I love learning about all the problems I’m not having

By the way I use Debian

Gallardo994 ,

What problems are you talking about?

crispy_kilt ,

For example, slow i/o with many small files

Gallardo994 ,

I don’t remember mentioning I have a problem with that lol

crispy_kilt ,

Can confirm, you did not mention it

Ironfacebuster OP ,

If the widgets page wasn’t almost useless and filled with news stories I would actually use dev home for its widgets lol

Gallardo994 ,

Newest release preview builds added an option to turn all the news off, just sayin’

Ironfacebuster OP ,

I haven’t downloaded it because I was tired of the weird bugs with file explorer, but even on stable there are weird bugs so it’s probably worth a try
