Is it time to switch back to Windows?
Is it time to switch back to Windows?
"For about eight days, some versions of Windows 10 quietly bundled a password manager that contained a critical vulnerability in its browser plug in, a researcher said Friday. The flaw was almost identical to one the same researcher disclosed in the same manager plugin 16 months ago that allowed websites to steal passwords." [1]

I ended up selling my Surface Pro 4 after a year.
WSL is an amazing piece of tech, but due to the issues with windows compatibility of the software I use and run, I had to run it inside WSL. And since I use IntelliJ, that means the IDE has to run inside WSL, too. This worked fine, by running vcxsrv (an X server) from Windows. But then, after a windows reinstall, it suddenly stopped handling high DPI (retina) properly, and all the xorg apps where tiny. That's when I decided that I'm not gonna embrace a platform where I have to hack and slash to get the basics right.
I hope Microsoft works on bringing an official x server implementation to WSL. It's amazing tech, and I want to use it, but for now, it's too premature.
