I tried to unsubscribe from a mailing list and they had the audacity to reply to me and say "you cannot unsubscribe from this method" (there was no other listed method) immediate block list in email.
I use CMake and I hate CMake, it's the true write once and forget language.
The real problem is C++ missing what cargo is to rust.
Unfortunately we're in too deep, everyone has their preferences and they're very strongly opinionated about them, maybe some rightfully so.
JP devs are infamous for their software and UIs, can't imagine she likes her job if it's a typical JP software job.
That being said coding is lots of fun. Far more fun than staring at spreadsheets or typing legal documents, or doing any field work.
So obviously the price comes from the fpga hardware emulation vs software emulation, but if you didn't know: there are software emulation alternatives that are cheaper (but these emulations are kind of wrong in some very minor ways)
Linux mint if you don't plan to learn the ecosystem in detail, Manjaro if you have cold feet about wanting to learn the ecosystem, Artix, Arch or Nix if you want to learn the ecosystem.
There's many adjacent options but hopefully that gives you some direction
At work ppl can hear you piss even if you do the trick 😉, I couldn't imagine shitting your heart out in there.
I use arch btw but I really hate the bijillion distros we have and the fact that people act like they matter, and yes I get the irony (btw).
When I first started I was really into KDE (I still like the kde effort) but the actual software was just bug ridden and weirdly out of phase aesthetically. Which is why we have other options like gnome and so on.
At the same time I feel like if the Linux community could combine their efforts instead of having dozens of developers working on the same thing with slightly different philosophies we'd be miles ahead of windows and Mac.
It's complicated because options are good and the effort is welcome and it ultimately grows the community but I feel strongly as though when it comes to developer power and efficiency Linux is really spreading itself thin and it absolutely has to do with core philosophies differing between teams.
