They are the "patterns" others mentioned.

They address that bad wording on subscription in the comments in that blog. If you have a fallback license to v. 2024.1 or newer the feature will stay active even if you stop your subscription.

Sudo is “su do”, i.e. “run as root”

It may default to root but it doesn't mean run as root. Su means substitute user identity i.e. any other user (if you have the rights to it).

The reason for better performance is that virt-manager (KVM actually under the hood) is a type 1 hypervisor while virtualbox is a type 2 hypervisor.

For a gui to qemu use Virt-manager or gnome boxes.

If I read it correctly the "fuck off" level refers to some proprietary app for the selected login. The other two are standard code app and yubikey.

Nice list.

Some comments

• If you're just starting to develop something you don't need multiple versions of JDK. Just use the latest LTS version (v. 21 currently).
• Git is always good to have. IntelliJ IDEA has a built in git client so others aren't strictly needed at first
• Ultimate version of IDEA (paid software) has full support for Spring (inc. Spring initializer)
• If you run Linux podman is a good choice instead of Docker
• For plugins I'd add sonarlint (helps with code quality)
• I'd also add Spotless to the project for automatic formatting

For now. I'm quite sure that option will disappear at some point in the not too distant future.

It's updating your desktop so that's why it does that. The safest way is to log out of your desktop session and login via terminal (press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to one) and run zypper dup.

Install the pam_kwallet package. Then it will automatically unlock on login.

Files in /run will be (re)created (and removed) at runtime if/when needed by programs that need them. They pose no problems and don't persist between reboots.

I'd say a good rule of thumb for a beginner is not to touch anything outside of their own home directory. Modifying or deleting files in other locations is an easy way to break your system.

Depends on the alternative. E.g. Fedora and OpenSuse have very active communities and lots of help available.

It's about data harvesting and selling not safety or any other mentioned.

Depends on the engineering field, I have out a few specific examples of highly payed engineering fields that can’t get away from Windows.

Do share what they are.

Like the system is not made for working and barely support it for actual computer work.

Have noticed the same.

One example why windows is bad for a developer. Lets say you work with node.js Eventually you'll end up with node_modules directory in you project with tens of thousands of files and thousands of directories. If you delete that directory in windows it takes minutes. In Linux it's instantaneous.

The point here is that the company trusts their employees to use the best tools for them, be secure and do the right thing. Be the most productive. Windows needs that kind of third party snake-oil like AV software and restrictive policies to run it somewhat secure. Most Linux distros are already secure by design out of the box. Drive-by malware and hacking are a thing in windows not Linux.

Of course there are best practices and guidelines for running your system securely, how to handle sensitive data etc.

Yes its the same document. The only thing I did is “open a copy” because the document was locked in the other editor.

If you just copy paste something it's not the same. If you want to make a true comparison you have open the same file in both.

People share unfinished documents with each other and formatting should hold, otherwise how can you collaborate?

And I was talking about finished documents.

Yes, and when the company gets hacked they can sue you for not keeping “your” computer secure enough.

Sounds very American point-of-view. Installation and usage was officially sanctioned. Most developers in both companies preferred to use Linux, some used Macs, wintoys users were a minority. Neither company had any super restrictive corporate BS on their wintoys installation. Neither company is based in the Americas. Both are local companies in the EU.
