It’s opensource, strongly typed, works very well on Linux, its neither Java nor JavaScript and there are lots of jobs available; so you wont hear me complaining.

If there is one thing Microsoft is struggling with it’s naming things. I work mostly with .NET and the regular renaming of products is just something you have to put up with. 🤷

Thanks, fixed.

Don’t bother it is published by Packt. None of the books published by them I have read were any good.

The part about changing the login screen seems to be not entirely true. There is also this tool that claims to be able to generate rpm from sddm themes that you then can layer onto your system image. Take this with a grain of salt though, as I haven’t tried either method because I honestly don’t care how my login screen looks.

I am using Fedora Kinoite and it has been incredibly stable. I like that I can always rollback to a previous state if an update breaks something. This was a huge issue for me a couple of years ago and I stopped using Linux for quite some time because of that. I haven’t had to roll back anything yet but without that feature I wouldn’t even consider making a Linux distro my daily driver. Installing software is for the most part pretty easy if you are happy using flatpak applications and toolbox. I like that all the packages that I need for my work or for messing around stay in the toolbox container and won’t affect the stability of my system. The only thing I find a bit annoying is that you have to reboot to apply updates. For me, going back to a ‘mutable’ distro is out of the question.
