I fully expect a Windows update to break this somehow. Good for this dev though and it'll be nice to have this software out there. Hopefully they don't have to fight against Microsoft's bullshit just to grow a user base.
Anyone who uses this should be considering switching to Linux though. Maybe that's the dev's long game. :b
I'm locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.
I don't recall where I said everyone should or can switch. I said they should be considering it. If you're feeling pressured that's not on me.
I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.
I'm aware, that's why I specifically phrased it as a consideration and not, like, "wow, those people are dumb and should switch to Linux immediately!"
Again, if you feel a certain way about my comment and think it said something it didn't, that's not on me.
