Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it's development related

Yeah dev home is pretty much useless at this point.
Back when it just launched, they marketed it as it would introduce cool stuff to developers like, what I'm waiting for the most, git repositories Explorer integration. But all we have is a constantly crashing app and two extra widgets for the widget panel.
Dev drives are also cool but they're the part of Windows anyway, no dev home needed.
Mom, can we have fast i/o with many small files?
No, we have fast i/o with many small files at home.
Fast i/o with many small files at home:
Instead of io stuff I just use it as a current snapshot of my dev stuff including repos. Super-easy and super-fast to sync to my other devices just as a vhdx file over any wifi network. Yeah it's not dev drive specific feature but still, I started doing so because of dev drive
I love learning about all the problems I'm not having
By the way I use Debian
What problems are you talking about?
For example, slow i/o with many small files
I don't remember mentioning I have a problem with that lol
Can confirm, you did not mention it
If the widgets page wasn't almost useless and filled with news stories I would actually use dev home for its widgets lol
Newest release preview builds added an option to turn all the news off, just sayin'
I haven't downloaded it because I was tired of the weird bugs with file explorer, but even on stable there are weird bugs so it's probably worth a try
