The last time I tried to use Linux as my main Desktop OS, I tried to create a shortcut on the desktop. Turns out, that's not really a thing in Linux. Then it turns out that "Create Folder" shortcuts whilst saving things weren't ever implemented. After a few things like this, I realized that it wasn't yet ready for being a daily driver, and went back to Windows.

If you're not wiping and reinstalling from scratch the day you receive your Laptop - You're not doing it right :p

> 16GB should be enough for most workloads, or so you'd think. Workloads for a regular user and workloads for a developer are very, VERY different. 16GB is nowhere near enough for a developer. You under-spec'd - The page file increase is a terrible thing to do, but the best choice for someone running multiple memory-intensive applications on a device spec'd for someone running Excel and a Browser who maybe also has Outlook open.

Last I checked, maximum rar compression was still better in many cases. Has that changed in the past few years?

Yet if you hire remotely, $35k / year will get you someone with 5-10+ years experience :p Bad pay in the US is often extremely good pay in many other countries.

Then you realize that it just wants you to restart explorer and you don't actually need to reboot - Like 95% of the stuff that wants you to restart... I never reboot between VS Updates and it still works fine.

How about the same way everything else does - Close the program, launch another one that re-names the original, then re-launch it. Imagine you had to reboot your PC any time Steam (Or any of its included games), or Windows Defender definitions or etc. updated. You'd be rebooting half a dozen times a day!

Windows Defender has a bad rap from the Windows 7 days where it was a piece of hot garbage. You know - The days when AVG was still downloaded from free.grisoft.com and was actually good? Yea - Those days. Windows 10 Defender is actually great. It's slowly gaining in popularity since people are realizing how bloatwared other modern AV's are, and the definitions are constantly updated.

If you're allowed to upgrade to .NET 5, they effectively implemented Newtonsofts one natively with pretty much the identical syntax. Works really well, and you're not using third-party add-ins.

.NET Core is alarmingly finicky in how it's built as it defaults to a larger cross-platform "I don't need the .NET Framework" build instead of simply a native one as .NET Framework did. Try and run
dotnet publish -r win-x64 --self-contained false -o bin/
Then check your bin folder. Should be far smaller with far less files with the limitation that it only runs on Windows. For a small Linux-only build, you can use
dotnet publish -r linux-x64 --self-contained false -o bin/
Whilst this is smaller, you will now need the .NET 5 Framework (Not to be mistaken with the .NET Framework Framework) installed as you did with regular .NET Framework (One of the reasons your one is so much larger is that it bundles the entirety of the Framework in it as well as it assumes it's not natively installed)

Sure - The .NET Framework itself is several hundred MB - But think long-term. You need to do 75 deployments over 1-5 years to a single company. Do you want to a.) Do 1 * large deployment and multiple ones that copy / deploy instantly OR b.) Do 75 medium-size deployments Now, let's say that the recipient company is in your average third-world country, and has 50kb/s upload. Still think the once-off largish setup (That - Keep in mind - Most modern devices already have installed by default, or are simple to acquire locally) is still worse? Similarly, go into your Windows / Program Files folder (On Windows). Search for *.exe or *.dll. Now, imagine every single one of those files was upgraded to the new format, and was at least 50MB (Or 29MB, using your above trimmed estimation). Would your current OS drive still be able to contain your OS?

I've seen entire OS's smaller than a .NET Core standalone self-contained binary - So I wouldn't put it past them...

Is the difference in size really that big?
Yes - Yes it is. A basic standalone self-contained single file "Hello World!" app is like 75MB. A Hello World .NET Framework .exe is 4kb.
