I used that combination, too. But I have settled for only the useless gaps extension for now. PaperWM was behind Gnome version too long and now I have seen there is Niri getting better and better. I will switch someday, I guess. It has the same concept as PaperWM, but is a scrollable/linear WM from the ground up.

Documentation is usually a doc folder inside the repo or just a README.md for small projects.

I guess, I have too many (new) songs in my playlist. Would I otherwise get in a programming tunnel easier?

Yes, I know, there is music for programming, but it is all new to me, hence too exciting and I get distracted. I have to test things.

Our dev stack could totally run on Linux, but management wants standardization for security reasons. We have a mixed environment of Win10 and Win11 and our scripts to setup and update the dev environment produce sometimes unpredictable results even on the same version of Windows. <_<

We’re not even using WSL2 to speed things up because we don’t get enough time to adapt our scripts to configure docker to use WSL2.

My next move will be asking to get Fridays off, because they denied my whish to use Linux. If they deny my part-time request, I will look elsewhere in 2025.

That was me 2 years ago. Now, I am wondering how I got the work done until now on Win11. It just takes longer and compensation for overtime helps. And by compensation I don’t mean money; I get my time back, working less on other days.

I will ask for a 4 day workweek. Every day without Windows is a good day. (:

Same here, but in a small company a non-functional windows machine can be a pain although you get paid for overtime.

And, even in Europe companies exist that do unpaid overtime. Worked at one for almost 3 years, all Linux, but I had to prepare for work on weekends. It was not worth it and it did not have anything to do with missing Linux skills. It was just a very demanding job with too much travel time. I hate unpaid overtime.

So, it is easier to blame Win11 that s*** itself again when work could not be done in time.

Do you have a guide that makes this possible?

And what do you mean by using vscode remote ssh session? Does this vscode instance is started from the WSL via some kind of ssh- Y?

This mind set has it’s limit when you need to get something done, see your family after 8h of work and don’t log overtime for some stupid windows s****.

But, yes, in most cases I just log additional unproductive time in my timesheet. It would suck, if I couldn’t compansate the overtime and leave work earlier on Fridays or so. Management has to live with the fact that working with Windows is not as efficient.

Awesome!

I am glad that I’ve set only a solid color. <_<

I whish I had permission to do that.

This is why I insisted to not have two monitors on my work desk. I don’t use it because it introduces so much more problems.

1 out of many problems less I have to worry about on Win11.

Btw., virtual desktop switching on Win11 is very slow. It needs time to register an then finally starts a stuttering transistion to the next desktop. This laptop has a 3 year old i7 in it. Switching virtual desktops on Gnome would run very smooth and responsive on it. I tested it even with VirtualBox with that Win11 as a host OS and GPU acceleration enabled: smoother! Only minor lags.

I think, it’s both.

No distro. I mean the next LTS version of the kernel. On Gentoo I can choose my kernel version, but it general I like to be on the stable LTS. But recently I needed to choose a more recent version for better compatibility of the amdgpu driver for the one game I am playing.

Cool. I hope the next LTS will include this.
