So, is there much of an advantage of Linux for coding?
Ubuntu is pretty bad now, but windows is still way worse.-snip-Ummm how is there no obvious advantage?
Did you even read anyone's post???-snip-Yeah. And Ubuntu is more bloated than Windows nowadays - I remember back in 2007 thinking Ubuntu was so light..
I mean I've had 16 laptops, and 6 of them were Linux. 5 of those 6 broke down. The other 10 were Windows. Not one broke down.
wdym broke down?

And the crashing, that could be bad hardware, or maybe you didn't install graphics drivers. What gpu did you have.

I can't remember the GPU. Ah, here it is, yeah I got it to boot though it's not that powerful. It's running 8.1, here's a screenshot of it running Scratch on my old account:Idk about the boot loop.

I thought you were saying a ubuntu version.
So you never got it to boot successfully on linux?
Maybe the problem was you had nvidia gpu, in which case you could try the pop os nvidia version: https://pop.system76.com/

So, is there much of an advantage of Linux for coding?
[citation needed]Yeah. Windows is great for coding.more programming tools are available for Linux and Unix-like operating systems, such as GCC
gcc is available for windows through cygwin and mingw
so why do 40% of developers use linux while only >5% of people generally use linux?

On the stack overflow survey, if you include wsl as linux, on average, with combined professional and personal more/the same amount of devs use linux as windows.[citation needed]Yeah.

wsl is listed separately because it isn”t really just windows or linux. I think that makes sense.
it doesn’t matter, anyway. my point was that a vastly disproportionate number of developers use linux. and we’re not including people who want to be.

Even you.com chat thinks linux is better.
I asked: make a rap about Linux.
Output:
Let me tell you a story, about a powerful OS, Linux, it's the best thing you can get, I suppose It's open-source, so you can modify it however you please, And with its flexibility, it's sure to bring you ease
No matter what you need, Linux will be there, From gaming to working, it'll do it without a care It's secure and reliable, and you can run it anywhere, That's why it's the choice for businesses everywhere
No matter your device, Linux will run on it, Desktops, laptops, phones, and more, you can bet It's user-friendly, so it won't be hard to install, And you can customize it however you will
Linux is the king of operating systems, Its stability and performance will never disappoint So if you're looking for a powerful OS, Linux is the one for you, the best choice, no doubt.
