Why Do Game Developers STILL Use Windows?? | The Standup
🎮💻 In this episode of Standup, we dive deep into the eternal operating system war: Windows vs. macOS vs. Linux. Legendary game dev Casey Muratori (of Handmade Hero fame) joins Primeagen, Trash, and Tee to unpack why game developers still use Windows, even when most modern developers swear by Linux or Mac.
📌 Topics We Cover:
• Why game devs prefer Windows (spoiler: it’s not because they like it)
• MacOS vs. Linux vs. Windows for developers
• Is GDB actually garbage?
• Debugging tools: RAD Debugger, Visual Studio, and why Linux falls short
• Why enterprise studios can’t just switch to Linux
• Anti-cheat, Steam Deck, and the future of Linux gaming
• The unbearable pain of Windows terminals
• Why developers obsess over window managers and productivity setups
• And of course… the real debate: should devs optimize everything or just get stuff done?
🔥 Whether you’re a web developer, game dev, Linux power user, or someone just trying to survive corporate IT policies — this one hits every nerve.
