.NET versions are faster outdated then .Net Framework 4.8
Point? I’m SRE on .Net project, we have been through 6-8-10 and its cost us about 2ish hours of work each time. As long as you don’t get crazy, .Net upgrades is just matter of new SDK and runtime and away you go.
Toolchains on linux are not clear from dependency hell either - ever install an npm package that needs cmake underneath? glibc dependencies that can't be resolved because you need two different versions simultaneously in the same build somehow... python in another realm here as well. That shiny c++ project that needs a bleeding edge boost version that is about 6 months away from being included in your package manager…
.NET does have flags to include the necessary dependencies with the executable these days so you can just run the .exe and don't need to install .net on the host machine. Granted that does increase the size of the app (not to mention adding shitton of dll's if you don't build as single executable) but this at least is a solved problem.

> Is this post AI-written? What if it was? What if it wasn't? What if you never find out definitely? Do you wonder that about all content? If so, doesn't that get exhausting?
What's exhausting is getting through a ten-paragraph article and realising there was only two paragraphs of actual content, then having to wade back through it to figure out which parts came from the prompt, and which parts were entirely made up by the automated sawdust injector.
I completely agree with your parent that it's tedious seeing this "fake and gay" problem everywhere and wonder what an unwinnable struggle it must be for the people who feel they have to work out if everything they read was AI written or not.

> The counterpoint of this is Linux distros trying to resolve all global dependencies into a one-size-fits-nothing solution - with every package having several dozen patches trying to make a brand-new application release work with a decade-old release of libfoobar. They are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and act surprised when it doesn't fit. This is only the case for debian and derivatives, lol. Rollin…
I'm going to need a source for both of those claims.
Looking at the script: > curl -L -o msvcup.zip https://github.com/marler8997/msvcup/releases/download/v2026... No thanks. I’m not going to install executables downloaded from an unknown GitHub account named marler8997 without even a simple hash check. As others have explained the Windows situation is not as bad as this blog post suggests, but even if it was this doesn’t look like a solution. It’s just one other insta…
I know Jonathan Marler for some of his Zig talks and his work in the win32 api bindings for Zig[0], they are even linked from Microsoft's own repo[1] (not sure why he has 2 github users/orgs but you can see it's the same person in the commits).

apt install gcc-11 CC=gcc-11 make ? If it’s not packaged and you’ve got to build it yourself, Godspeed. An if you’ve got to change libc versions…
GCC is surprisingly simple to build, fortunately.
