Gentoo user here. I look at system load while compiling. (: But most of the time I can use my PC while portage is doing it's job.

VSCode has theme support; there are light themes, that are not so bright and dark themes that aren't that dark.
I prefer a very dark gray, a very good font (Iosevka, tuned to my needs) and an appropiate font size (because wearing glasses).
I hope, I never get this senior title. It is complete BS to me. And I am glad, that my junior status is gone for good and I have a job title that does not try to tell something about my expierience!
If you don't play the latest game titles with DRM you should be good to go on Linux: Steam runs great in a flatpak sandbox.
I don't know how compatible mono is with dotnet. Interestingly, some game launchers need it and protontricks can handle many issues. Have look at protondb. Back to work: Someone needs to confirm whether MSSQL server can be run on Linux, but I am almost sure that you won't be able to run the gui of it. But you can connect to it using DBeaver (Java-based) or a VSCode plugin. As for C# development on Linux, I don't know.
I wish I could switch to Linux at work, too, but standardization of work environments seems to be the problem. I would even consider Ubuntu 22.04 LTS if my employer woul allow it. Last time I asked, time was the real reason. Time savings in the long run, currently don't matter. I will ask later and if they still tell me, it's too risky, I will look elsewhere.
Our dev setup doesn't even have the constraints you have for your work. It is all docker-based with Ubuntu Linux containers. It would run faster on Linux even if we could switch to WSL2. And I would argue, that Linux is more standardized than Windows.
I hope you get your stuff running on Linux; market share needs to go up so that all the managers don't fear it. (:
With Gentoo, you can choose any live-iso, open a terminal and start installing. (:
It needed many reinstalls! So yes, many times, indeed.
Vulcans.
Logic dictates it.
I know at least one person who switched back to Windows but claimed there was no choice. Maybe the people arround that person making the switch to Linux initially does matter. And if they are (still) Windows users, it can happen at the first sign of trouble; especially when they are stubborn Windows users.
Guys, there are people out there Windows is the only OS they want to use despite all the problems.
Ja, bitte erklärt es mir. [=
Disclaimer: I use gnome-console as my terminal emulator; switched from gnome-terminal ~2 years ago.
What about time on a different planet? What would be a common time"zone" for Mars and Earth?
It depends, I propably won't understand the most english idioms, but I am able to hate the ones in my native language, because some of them are very stupid. ^^
Meanwhile in Gentoo: Still compiling.
Oh wait: binpkgs, update is done and I don't have look at NixOS anymore. [=
Exactly, this is the reason I use Gentoo on my Zen3 12c w/ 32gb RAM. Smooth and clean. Nothing should stutter below 60 FPS or lagging when I hit a key on the keyboard.
