I'm getting sick every day at this Microsoft Windows slowness and bloat. 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 is your experience?
On linux you just put the ovpn into the settings. VPN connections are built into the system
Yes, I have used systems that broke. Yes I followed bad advice and broke my system. Ever since not touching my system, that didn't happen again. If I would touch windows, I would brik windows as well.
Yeah that's another thing that Windows can break in the same way as Linux.
With an atomic system it's less likely to brick your system. You can stay in the debian world with vanillaos (I've never used it) but fedora atomic is very good. On a day to day basis you shouldn't have/use admin rights to break your system
