    I really should be switching to linux, but I only turn my laptop on like once a month and I’m sure I’d forget all the Linux things in-between those occasions…
    Also, does anyone know whether linux can run PHPStorm? That’s like the only program I need on there

      Many developers use Linux, so Jetbrains makes sure all their IDEs work on it.

      I’m pretty sure in general there are more development tools that don’t work on windows (or only work through WSL, which is Linux), than development tools that don’t work on Linux.

        I agree, even MacOS is a more capable software development platform than Windows these days.

      I have used JetBrains software for years on Linux with no issues.

      Mostly used IntelliJ, but they all seem to be built on a common base so I think it should be no problems.

      Try in a VM!

      I’ve always had a better time running jetbrains ides on linux than I’ve had on windows so yeah, there won’t be any issue with that at all.

      I keep an org-mode file of all the useful commands, configs, and settings. and bash automatically keeps a history of all your commands anyway.

      Screenshot of the PHPStorm "New Project" Window under KDE Plasma

      It seems so, at least it started without issues here, no clue how well it actually works
