I like computers, their technology and, especially, .NET development using Visual Studio.

IDEs
This may seem crazy, but I have 7 different VS versions installed: 2010, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2022 Preview. Out of all of them, I use 2012 the most.

Why so many? Because I'm exploring my upgrade paths, since VS2012's support ends in a week. Because I want to make sure all recent projects are compatible.

Have I made a decision regarding VS2012's EOS? Yes, I have; and I have decided to stick with 2012 for a little longer. However, I have begun to use newer versions as well.

My IDE setup is as follows (subject to change):


 * IDE: Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 (from VS subscription portal, main), Visual Studio Community 2017 (secondary), Visual Studio 2022 Preview (tertiary, only for Markdown editing and Git repos)
 * RSS feed: http://vsstartpagenewsfeed.azureedge.net/news/vs (RSS feed that works in old versions)
 * Color scheme: Visual Studio default dark theme
 * Code font: IBM Plex Mono
 * Most notable extension: Git Source Code Provider (by Yiyi Sun et. al.), Color Theme Editor (by Microsoft)
 * Debugging tabs/technologies: Autos/Locals, Immediate Window, and a mix of normal and IntelliTrace debugging
 * Account subscription: Visual Studio Dev Essentials

I have the following software collections:

Operating systems I have tested
Apart from Visual Studio versions, I often test operating systems too. I mostly use VM software (such as VMware), but I also involved my main system.

Here is a log of the operating systems I've tested since 1 January 2023: Out of all operating systems I've tested since I began my journey with VMs (back in 2017), here is a ranking of the ones I like most:
