Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it’s development related
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.
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
I love learning about all the problems I’m not having
By the way I use Debian
What problems are you talking about?
For example, slow i/o with many small files
I don’t remember mentioning I have a problem with that lol
Can confirm, you did not mention it
I don’t know what this is since I dont use windows, and it makes me happy.
Jomo - joy of missing out
what is that? i use linux btw
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.
