• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago

• X410's Microsoft Store Bait and Switch

  I can't even access this page. Archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://x410.dev/news/starting-from-version-3-6-0-you-can-now-purchase-a-subscription-for-x410-from-microsoft-store/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Minimal Cross-Platform Graphics

  Super interesting! > It is janky though So what? It can be improved :) Would you like to try to make an APE out of it? It would then be not just different Linuxes, but also MacOS and Windows, a bit like https://x410.dev/ or the free software vcxserv https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Operating System

  If you want to use GUI apps in WSL, x410 is far superior to any other X server or wslg. Yeah, it's not free, but it's well worth the cost and is frequently on sale at a great discount. Source: over 1 year ago

• Part of Windows 11 is a revamped Windows Subsystem for Linux

  Not if you use an X server that's specifically designed for it: https://x410.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Frustrating ergonomics of GDNative in 3.3 -- are these addressed for 4.0?

  I also work off Windows, but I've been able to run of Linux via WSL and x410.dev. Source: almost 3 years ago
