Re: MS is in decline, but Linux will never replace it
For someone who works in IT, you sure don't know much about Linux.
The desktop version of Linux Mint doesn't come with developer tools, they can be installed from the available packages, but they aren't there when you first install. Most of the different versions of Linux I've installed give you the option of choosing which packages you want on your system. There are plenty of Linux users with heaps of experience. You ain't one of them.
Were you part of the insiders program maybe, and still trying to push the Microsoft propaganda?
