And people STILL think I'm weird weird for hating 11
Windows is becoming increasingly hostile and really I think the only reason people and businesses still use it is mass Stockholm syndrome.
It's the ultimate vendor lock. All of our productivity software is on windows, we designed our productivity stacks around windows.
F'real. And lots of specialized software has marginal support for Linux at best, so it ends up being a chicken/egg problem. There's no business software for Linux because nobody uses Linux for business because there's no business software for Linux.
I hope many other IT orgs will realize that it's so much easier at the end of the day to thinapp them through a platform like Omnissa or whatever Citrix is calling theirs now.
Then, hopefully, Linux numbers go up and it gets treated like the first-class citizen it deserves to be.
The idea of atomic linux desktops in an enterprise setting tickles me in a way that would get me called into HR.
IGEL OS could potentially get this kind of pull going from medical/govt primarily to more general business
Never heard of it. But we are a .mil contractor (among other things...we put a lot of R&D into civilian tech and biomed, and that's almost entirely funded by the blood money, so my conscience is conflicted, spare me more lecturing) and security is paramount.
So I'm pretty much telling everyone I know at work about this now. Especially as we are teeing off a move towards more VDI, more cloud-first (.mil makes us lag behind on that stuff). This...it's everything I wanted.
Let me just check with you that i'm interpreting this comment correctly: I accidentally informed you of a Linux platform that is highly interesting to you and fits your exact use case? Well great! happy to help. I work for a HW OEM that is "IGEL Ready" so I'm familiar with their platform and it's use cases, but I don't use it myself.
so, bit of a non sequitur here but: I'm interested in other work if you are familiar with some roles looking for a "solutions architect" type person and want to chat about that sorta thing in the DMs.
People look at me weird for using Signal, Linux, VPN, Filen, etc. Like sorry I don't like sucking capitalist dick?
I like my dick very leftish. 🤤
I get a lot of that too. "It works just fine" is a common justification I hear from people 🤦♂️
Which is true for the majority of people, because the majority of people just don't care. With most day to day windows issues, the fix is just restarting it or abusing the IT person in your family for free support.
Windows is definitely bad from a power user's standpoint. But, the things we consider downfalls are often seen as benefits to those who don't know any better (and who don't care to know any better).
Like, Microsoft saving your important documents in the cloud, for free, so a drive failure won't cause you to lose your data sounds great on the surface.
My whole life it was a common knowledge that Windows alternates between OK and worst shit imaginable. 95 was shit, 98 was passable. ME was terrible, XP was OK. Vista was dogshit, 7 was all right. 8 was cancer, 10 was functional. 11 was doomed from the beginning, and it's weird that some people don't know this.
21H2 wasn't that bad, by comparison to 24H2.
But that's like saying George W wasn't that bad, by comparison to Trump.
Yeah, it's true, but you're comparing road apples and pedophiles.
The AX211 wifi adapter in my work laptop just straight up stopped functioning after a windows update. I can't even.
Going to ask IT for a linux image. In the meanwhile I use usb tethering.
Anyone questioning you at this point is an obvious shill.
