Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it’s development related
I don’t know what this is since I dont use windows, and it makes me happy.
5/5 stars

Yeah dev home is pretty much useless at this point.
Back when it just launched, they marketed it as it would introduce cool stuff to developers like, what I’m waiting for the most, git repositories Explorer integration. But all we have is a constantly crashing app and two extra widgets for the widget panel.
Dev drives are also cool but they’re the part of Windows anyway, no dev home needed.

Dev drives
Mom, can we have fast i/o with many small files?
No, we have fast i/o with many small files at home.

Instead of io stuff I just use it as a current snapshot of my dev stuff including repos. Super-easy and super-fast to sync to my other devices just as a vhdx file over any wifi network. Yeah it’s not dev drive specific feature but still, I started doing so because of dev drive

If the widgets page wasn’t almost useless and filled with news stories I would actually use dev home for its widgets lol
Gallardo994@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Newest release preview builds added an option to turn all the news off, just sayin’

It’s only called Rainmeter if it’s from the Pluvimètre region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling Windows Vista widgets.

An application to add stuff/widgets to your windows desktop

What’s dissapointing about Dev Home is that it offers nothing of value to the average developer, let alone somebody start it.
Given the power of containerization and WSL2, you would expect it could create development environments for a given app, like creating a firmware for a microcontroller using Rust, or a backend using Typescript, and even bring common tools or toolchains. Instead, we get some widgets and that’s it.

It’s not a dev tool, it’s designed to force you to stay with the Windows environment by trying to regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.
I don’t understand what this means.

I am so tired of Linux users who scream “I use X btw” everywhere… Like maybe it was cool some decade ago, but now it’s just annoying seeing it where ever I go. I hope Photon will feature content filtering by keywords eventually.

Dev Home is a new control center for Windows providing the ability to monitor projects in your dashboard using customizable widgets, set up your dev environment by downloading apps, packages, or repositories, connect to your developer accounts and tools (such as GitHub), and create a Dev Drive for storage all in one place.
- Use the centralized dashboard with customizable widgets to monitor workflows, track your dev projects, coding tasks, GitHub issues, pull requests, available SSH connections, and system CPU, GPU, Memory, and Network performance.
- Use the Machine configuration tool to set up your development environment on a new device or onboard a new dev project.
- Use Dev Home extensions to set up widgets that display developer-specific information. Create and share your own custom-built extensions.
- Create a Dev Drive to store your project files and Git repositories.

So more unnecessary middle man trash designed to tie users more permanently to their OS choice. Nothing new then.

Bro I really thought that dude meant winget until I saw your comment. I just accepted he used a GUI for packages

“Most favorable review” 🤣
Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That was my favorite part, their system tried so hard to find a highly rated review and that’s what it got instead
Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 months ago
As a side note, I love Winget. It took them long enough to add it but it id so handy.
Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yes! Why did it take them so long?
allywilson@sopuli.xyz 3 months ago
It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.
xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
A review that deserves more stars than the thing it’s reviewing.
