While the app has been available on select Windows 10 laptops recently, today marks its launch in the Microsoft Store for all Windows 10 PCs. Hey Cortana: tell Siri to scooch down a bit to make room on the virtual couch

If you are looking to download the very popular Notepad replacement called Notepad2, be careful of sites created to look official, but actually distribute Notepad2 as an adware bundle. I'm more of a Notepad++ kinda guy, but just in case
VIM users can keep it to themselves

Mystery bug is telling Windows 10 users that their legitimate license is no longer activated. Another day, another reason why those sticking with Windows 7 can feel happy

I'm happy, and actually happier than that. Even Win7 is getting kicked to the curb at my house.

Speaking of that - I'm too lazy to look back. What distro did you go with? Or are you a CLI-only kinda guy?

I'm running Lubuntu on my servers, Ubuntu on the new laptop and on the HTPC, Mint 18 on two older laptops (which should actually be running Lubuntu due to the age of the hardware), and Raspian on the Pi's. I plan on putting Mint 19 on my and my wife's desktops, right after I wrangle the backup process. The key point here is that all of the distros are based on Debian, so they're real similar (just using different window managers).
I am steadfastly NOT a CLI guy, but with Linux, it's forced on you if you want to do anything much more complicated than the default install (or if you run into problems), regardless of which distro you use.
I'm of the opinion that requiring CLI use is most of the reason that Linux hasn't really been accepted by normal people. Windows has ruined people, and made them lazy (me included)...

I would really like to try one of those. Either one actually. As it is, we run out of CPU and have to distribute the load for our app. With that many cores we might be able to get by with one box. We are investigating using GPUs now. This could be a fun re-write.

.NET has APIs for locating special folders that can be used for application and user configuration and data storage. Linux doesn’t have a “My Documents” folder?

Well, yes. But I always think of it as "way to get .NET developer or app on Linux", not "Linux developer using .NET".
It hurts my brain in that direction as well. Maybe I just need my brain looked at?
