I’m getting sick everyday at this Microsoft Windows slowness and bloatness. I am trying to use as much Linux VMs as possible. I feel so unproductive on Windows. I also tried installing Linux on the office laptop. The problem is that Windows is officialy supported and the Linux is DYI. Once the IT departament changes it will sync up with Windows but Linux can be broken and you are no longer able to work. Next job I want to have full Linux laptop or at least Mac.

Besides:

  • Microsoft Office
  • Active Directory
  • Some proxy and VPN bullshit Everything seems manageable and even better on Linux.

What are your experiences?

    I manage the few linux servers at my company. I use a windows laptop to ssh to my servers. Windows for me is fine, but I do very little on it outside of ssh or emails. However, I would never use windows outside of this.

      Simple so you probably fine with that. I do a lot of automation so besides using Microsoft Office I feel like I’m being heavy with everything.
