The only reason I use Windows is probably the same reason a lot of people use Windows: the company I work for requires it. It's a small company and they don't want IT to have to support more than one OS, so I _get_ why, but man do I hate it.

Linux on my non-work machine tho. Windows 11 made me rip off the bandaid and get rid of the windows dual boot I very occasionally used for some old software.



If you can only pick one OS why not pick a good one then lol


In a job interview last, year a CEO told me he was personally a fan of Linux at home but hated Linux and MacOS as workstation in a corporate env because it was a pain in the ass to manage compliance.

Not sure if it is really the case or just lack of knowledge, I think you can do a long way with tools such as puppet and chief.


Because the finance team can't run quickbooks on Linux.


Yeah, basically - plus there's some groundwater modeling stuff that's a PITA to run on Linux


Damn that is depressing.
