My experience with Linux could perhaps best be summarized as, when it works, it just works, and when it doesn't work, you might as well forget about the whole thing.

Every day is a learning experience on Linux.

I have no real experience with Linux, but I was pretty impressed, when I tried it first time (mint  ) and wine. All our win apps ran perfect, including more or less complex graphics which I did not expect...

You can build a custom kernel with linux and reduce its install size to the point it actually IS embeddable, unlike the laughable Windows 10 IoT embedded, which can only be embedded in something the size of a shipping container.
That is its benefit. If you want a home system where you dont have to think for yourself,
then windows is good. If you are an engineer, you might be able to handle linux.

You have that just right (working with CE now WEC7). Next up? Something Unix embedded? No one knows.

Linux is very user friendly, it’s just very choosy about who it considers its friends.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

You finish up a project, set up Jenkins and SonarQube and SonarQube finds no issues with your code at all.
I've been doing a couple of projects like that now.
My team lead recently asked the team "Do you guys ever check out SonarQube for issues?"
And I was like "I have to confess I don't check it out all that often."
And all he said was "Your code has no issues anyway, I was talking to the rest of the team."
Feels good man
I still think SonarQube is a great tool and the times I do check it I always learn something new.
For those who don't know it, SonarQube is a code analyzer that checks your code for issues and gives advice on how to fix it (for example use === instead of == in JavaScript, don't make functions too long, don't nest too much if's/whiles, etc.). It has 100's, maybe 1000's of (optional) rules for pretty much every language you can think of.
I can really recommended it

So I am now running the pre-release evaluation version of the 2017 Fall Creator's Update of Windows 10, and everything seems just dandy (so far). I notice some nice features in Edge, like the ability to "set aside" tabs for quick recall later. I did not see this in the old Edge.
Are there any other brave souls out there in the same boat?

Does Chrome still work? I was reading that only fully validated applications (through the store) would be allowed onto Windows 10 FCUW10.

I never used Chrome and don't plan to do so anytime soon. Edge gives me all I require from a browser.
Edit:
All apps on my machine, whether from the Store or Microsoft or not, still work 100%

Google Chrome won't be allowed on Windows 10 S | ZDNet[^]
is what I was referring too... but I guess that's not the same as Creator Update.

A very slanted headline.
Chrome is "allowed", because Google won't put it in the Store.

I read that they can't put it in the store - all store apps are required to use the default web rendering engine, which would make a store version of Chrome nothing more than a new skin for Edge.

Windows 10 S is not an update to the default Windows 10, but a new 'edition', like Home, Professional and so... The specific of this edition is that it will allow applications from the Store only (hence the S)...

Oooohhh, I thought the "S" meant something else (i.e. that word with the asterisk in it)

You have to be very desperate to expect s** from Windows

lol, wondered what the d*** (there you go) S meant, never connected it to the Store. FWIW, it was CP that originally posted this article under The Insider. I just find it interesting, years ago, the claim was "the browser is part of the OS", and MS d*** near got broken up by the feds.
Now we're back full circle - MS keeping competitor products out of their store unless they are approved by MS. Should get interesting.
