@anubiarts@oomfie.city on Mastodon: 'how to convince people to move over to linux "you have the freedom of doing what you want with your pc and with open source alternatives" ❌' Bullet point list: too wordy, most people have no idea what that means, "what is linux". Second point: '"you can't run league of legends on it" ✅' Bullet points: straight to the point, very easy to understand, over half of the earth's population now use linux.

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 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!
