At least they have some kind of choice…
Just let’s say using it for PuTTY is fine.
Hah I don’t have that privilege but same mindset. It is weird to me that in many companies you were deprived of choice at least. Linux can be worse too but let me just try it and see.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Nice, why risky?
Automation of the Cloud deployment.
- OpenStack with Kolla Ansible
- just Ansible
- sometimes Bash scripting or Python
Monitoring
- Prometheus with Grafana and AlertManager
Bare metal automation
- Some BMC stuff
- MAAS
Fileserver maintance
- MooseFS with Samba
- Ceph OSDs cluster
And any other that for now I don’t have much time like
- AWX with Kubernetes
Haha nice. I heard that office 365 is okay but for let’s say 10000 rows Excel it lacks performance.
Hmm that is also a nice a way to put it. However when you are slowed you can be demanded more productivity even though you cannot do anything about it. Maybe except unpaid overtime. Do you have anything for this?
Try this terminal emulator then https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2
Yeah, it is slow in the end, not native, many things to configure (like proxies) and so on…
Great! Was it hard also to switch to MacOS as a Linux user for work?
The worst part is it is not Windows fault. The pure kernel and the system without any bloat works great. I tried AtlasOS once and I felt bad for Microsoft engineers that their work is being spoiled with greed, bloat, enshititifaction. Everything was going smoothly and flawlessly.
But so many components are just… Hacky… Unnecessary… Just weird that it barely works especially so many companies don’t know what they are doing. Then the dependency hell happens of this software.
Linux on the other hand is so much transparent.
Less bloaty? How much?
Yep, many people complain about Wayland and just graphic things in general. On Windows on the other hand sometimes I cannot click buttons. Example: unmute myself in Teams. Why? Because the docking station after some time cannot figure out where is the focus and also Electron sucks. And many other thing like weird behaviour with moving apps’ windows from one screen to another.
How do you like it?
Yeah that’s another thing that Windows can break in the same way as Linux.
For me it’s
- apt
- vim / neovim
- tmux
- BAAAAASH
- and some other commands that I use seldom but from time to time.
Yeah also I’ve seen some guys trying to have Windows OS with Linux VM. Or the opposite Linux OS with Windows VM for Office stuff. Sounds like a good agreement but with my barely working office laptop I don’t think so. It would be nice to have out of the box image support of office Windows though.
I understand your point but I disagree. My senior head of security department uses Linux with Windows VM for Microsoft stuff like Office, Outlook, Teams etc. Besides that many things are handled through configured LDAP with AD and many pain points through Linux and Windows interchangeability is solved through Samba like fileservers. I also hear more and more about FreeIPA thing. I only heard and read of Kerberos that is hard to do.
For everything else like
Everything is the same or even better and more secure on Linux. SSL stuff just comes from it… Even from BSD systems I think that is known for simplicity and security. With so many bloat on Windows there is so much vulnerabilities and things to manage while you can KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid)
I don’t need 80% things on Windows but I do have them as I’m forced to and they also are like some ticking security bomb.
I don’t ask for a perfect Linux support, but at least an ability to do so. I tried it and in the end it came out that Microsoft likes Windows more than Linux (I know surprising). Intune crashed, certificates were weirdly Windows specific and after that I gave up.
Isn’t freedom about doing whatever you want especially when you want to get as much of your system, hardware so they just can squeeze as much productivity as possible from an employee?
