Recently switch to Mac for work and couldn’t be happier. Well, unless Linux becomes an option 🥸
Also no dark mode on SQL Server Management Studio as well.
Not sure when they added it, but you can get dark mode on it. The path for me:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 19\Common7\IDE
the file you need to modify isssms.pkgundef
and the line has a comment above it that says//Remove Dark Theme
Just comment the line. Boom
Edit: I have a very new edition of ssms (some version of 19) so YMMV
I saw a tutorial that showed that. Problem is I don’t have permission to that folder. Work computer.
Ngl also one argument against Windows is that the user doesn’t have full control on the file system by default.
I can’t just remove Edge for example, I have to use a script which disables it, but the space will never be freed.
I run Linux everywhere but work for that reason. Don’t worry, I asked work, but got denied. 😞
Just use a vm
The only good thing is it means i can use Visual Studio
Try seeing if you can switch to Linux. I didn’t expect to succeed while working at Microsoft, but I haven’t had to use Windows in over a year now.
Counterpoint: at least it’s not Windows 11. I don’t care if it’s prettier if it’s less functional and more buggy. Plus, I hear it steals design cues and features from KDE, although it seems that stealing commonplace features from Linux Desktop Environments is think that’s been ongoing, if I remember correctly.
Win11 start menu is KDE with slower search and less functionality.
That’s why I use whatever I want and remote into my work machine to do the things I can’t get away with on my personal one.
Mmmm can’t forget the favorite web browser for all EDGE!
I just got a BSOD the other day. Haven’t seen one of those things in a while.
It gave me a link which told me to just search for how to fix a BSOD on some windows computer help tool (wait, what I have a BSOD) which then sent me to another link…cool.
