@@calciumated We have a Fedora client for our enterprise app in our startup business. It has been pretty nightmarish to bundle the app for Fedora. Their dev docs are good, but it changes non-stop. However creating an AUR package was a delight. I guess this explains why AUR packages are so much more up-to-date and abundant. However it is correct, it's pretty dangerous to install packages from AUR if you don't trust the publisher.

super helpful!!

I've been happily using manjaro kde for the last 6 years now. Used debian based distros with gnome for a long time before that. Also tried many other distros.

I evaluated most common Distros and DEs and also ended up using Manjaro XFCE.

#feelinginspiredforlinux thank you for making this content as i embark on my new journey into making linux my fulltime choice of platorm for development & personal projects :-)

Thank you! First person who actually SHOWED how a developer would us Manjaro. Thank you so much! I now know exactly what to do with my machine. I wanted to also ask, one thing I like about Pop OS is the window tiling option - do you know of it? Is that something you use? I would imagine it would be very helpful to a developer to have windows tiled a certain way - so I wanted to find out if there's a way to use it in Manjaro's default DE or would I have to install Pop OS's Gnome DE to use it? Thanks!

Some bioses have built-in recognition for windows and ubuntu, but not for manjaro & arch. With older machines, sometimes you need to change GRUB paramters to report "ubuntu" instead of "manjaro" so it will boot properly. I had the same with my ancient Fujitsu laptop. However if you are already using Ubuntu, there is no need to change. It is still a good Linux!

What do you mean by unstable? There's lots of distributions of Linux out there. Some of them are configured to be as stable as possible and are used and trusted by many large companies to run their servers. Other versions are intentionally meant to be cutting edge, with the ability to stay up to date with any new features as they are created. None of them auto-update like Windows does

"Microsoft is expensive" is not really a reason to avoid MS Server OS... Look, i'm a software engineer with 10 years experience, i was looking at this video to get your opinion, but, to be honest, this video gave me 0 value as a senior...also, the software installed...damn...good luck working on a senior level, but this was very close to useless, hope for other people watching this video they do research elsewhere.

So much for "Senior Developer". Precompiled Linux for idiots instead Source Based Linux for developers. Dinosaur LibreOffice instead cloud Google Docs. Virtual Box instead build in native KVM. DaVinci instead Kdenlive. Intellij (or any other GUI based IDEA) instead of powerful and universal vim. Conclusion.... better go back to Windows cause you present on this video how much you need this. You present how bring work under Linux to same ideology and tools as on Windows, and this is totally wrong in Linux case. Because Linux propose totally different approach to same use case. So "A fledgling Developer's Linux Setup" will be more close to content of video.

You can use IntelliJ in VIM mode. And I never saw the value of compiling from 0 if you are not going to read the source code. Also, trying to fiddle with the compiler parameters to get little bit more performance is generally not worth for a developer machine.

​@@QuanticDev There is no talk about vim-mode. There is talk about vim. Powerful, featured and work everywhere and in any case in any situation, locally or remotely, with X11org or without it, on any Linux. Source based is not means compiling from 0 cause since more than 20 years exists portage. I'm sorry you are from the past? And... If you in some way close to definition of "senior developer" explain me difference between binary code compiled with -marh=amd64 and -march=skylake? How you, ,probably being "senior developer", can say than binary code which support ONLY generic CPU instruction is only "little bit" slower than binary code which support ALL CPU instructions? For example: Intel Skylake CPU with 64-bit extensions, MOVBE, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, POPCNT, AVX, AVX2, AES, PCLMUL, FSGSBASE, RDRND, FMA, BMI, BMI2, F16C, RDSEED, ADCX, PREFETCHW, CLFLUSHOPT, XSAVEC and XSAVES instruction set support. That all goods will be waste using precompiled x86/amd64/intel64 binary. So... newer CPU we will get - more dramatic difference will be. Additionally. If we talk about programmers. It's much more better to have system when you easily can bring it to exact willing state in any combination. Can easily involve in source code of all libraries/APIs what you use. Use compilers/interpreters which adjusted to ALL CPU abilities. So. From this perspective. What you propose on this video. It's approach for power users. Not higher.
