agreed, aside from the shell (Powershell is still just Not Great™), the user experience on Windows is honestly better than OS X or Linux to me at this point

@kevinmost Yeah, most of it just works, and it's super fast. Even my macs run faster with Windows than macOS.

The last time I tried Ubuntu I got so angry with all the stupidity in Unity, but now they are trowing it on the boat, so I might try again. I was actually also pretty impressed with the latest Fedora so that might be an option also.

yup, the only things I think I can complain about are the terrible start menu search (Alfred on OS X has it beat), and the multi-window support (Win10 is a welcome improvement over 8, but OS X's multi-window, multi-monitor is still the best, too)

I should say, multi-"space", not multi-window. Virtual desktops, basically

Hehe, I try to avoid searching in Windows at all cost.

I'm a huge Fedora fan boy. I have currently have an Ubuntu box at home, but it's running the Gnome spin. I hate Unity with a passion. I'm so glad they're trashing it.

Well I just hate that cortana thingy...I heard the new KDE and Gnome version are not to bad.. I never liked Unity either but I am running I3 so I can't tell you anything about shiny UI-Windowmanagers 😎

@Ruckus Fedora felt incredibly polished the last time I tried it.

I kind of liked Unity's UI paradigms, but it was always buggy and crashy every time I used it

@edvin Same here, which is funny since it's supposed to be the "cutting edge" distro

They had some good ideas.

Cortana is awful, agreed, but a few registry tweaks brings Win10 back to sanity

Implementation though.. not so much.

When I was able to finally configure Windows so that even the laptop keyboard works like the POK3R, I was kind of sold. I know I will waste countless hours fighting with xmodmap if I switch 🙂

yeah, I got my laptop keyboard working as I want it with Karabiner in OS X. Moving to a Windows or Linux laptop now would require configuring this same messy SpaceFn setup again

@kevinmost That might be a show stopper I imagine 😁

yeah 😛

Are there any suggestions for more features for the Wizard, or are we in a good place for an initial release?

I think more of the samples and screencasts should use live data, so I think I will set up a small REST API with some data and resources that will be reset at midnight for example.

@edvin The Wizard feature set looks good to me for now but I just started playing with it so @ron should probably have a say here since he played with it more... I think a REST-API would be great...

@edvin that's especially important for tasks + progress. otherwise, you just demo synchronous code that's missing an important step

@carlw Exactly. I don't want people to think that this is a toy framework.

I'm packing for the cabin, so I won't be able to create the screencast today anyways. Will probably start the REST-API tonight though.

no, and that's a big problem with javafx in general. i've seen a bunch of consultants come and go on projects who miss this type of code. these are experienced people too

Great. I guess it's time to gradually increase the complexity of the screencasts too. Not everything is simple and easy.

Gotta run 🙂

Rofl i was thinking of een example with the rest api

Was looking into weather API

But they all need a key
