You could use MySQL? It has full EF7 support AFAIK.
After years MySQL still not implemented async for their .NET driver, only slow cheap wrappers. However, PostgreSQL has full async support in their free .NET driver...

WHY is it just a Ubuntu release and no RPM? I really HATE when developers go Ubuntu = Linux
It's packagers of RPM distros that should build RPMs. Upstream can't be expected to release packages for every distro (if any).
This isn't provide distro specific packages this is provide the one extra file over macOS and Windows.
Also this is for the health of the Linux environment.
That is why we have RPM and Deb they work for MANY distros and if your outside that then the source is there for aa build. One day appimage, flatpak or Snap will make this easier.
The real story here is the forced updates. How do people who are planning demos and presentations handle this? It's my worst nightmare.
I still have a windows machine for occasional games. What drives me nuts is "Install Updates and Shut Down" leads to a 15 minute boot time. WTF? I thought all that was supposed to finish before the computer turned off???

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was mad about that. My PC just shut off and started doing updates, in the middle of the day. My friend said "how much did you pay for Windows 10." I said "nothing, it's free update." then he said "There you go."

It will simply roll back the half-finished updates and retry the next shutdown. Those things are done transactional. Powering down won't hurt it.
You mean pulling the plug instead of shutting down normally? I suppose that'd work but usually you only realize that Windows wants to update _after_ you hit the shutdown button. And powering the machine down in this state will likely result in an unbootable machine. And good luck fixing that, especially if your hard-drive is encrypted.
Granted, I don't think there's a way to properly shut down without the update in an I-have-five-minutes scenario. But it does, at least, warn you.
How does VSCode deal with things like running unit tests?

It's not the only thing, though. Win 10 is a decent OS in most ways, but there are too many places where it does things that I don't want and I can't (easily?) change.
I use Windows because I do C# development for a living. For now, it's not practical for me to switch, but maybe it will be in a few years. I'm hoping so.
Really stupid to drive developers off of your OS, Microsoft.
I'm in a similar boat but using Project Rider on OSX. It generally works without issue but is far from ready for general use. How does VSCode deal with things like running unit tests?
dotnet test (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/tools/...)

Manually run the update check every 2-3 days and run it again two hours before the presentation. Any updates that come out in that two hour window will allow you at least one delay.
Come on, folks, this isn't exactly rocket science here. Keep your OS up to date and, surprisingly enough, you won't have any problems caused by it being not up to date.
EDIT: May I also remind everyone that your corporate IT security policy almost certainly requires you to keep the OS on your work PCs up to date?
