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 are your experience?

    I use a Windows laptop because that’s what is supported by our infrastructure, our endpoint protection and our cybersecurity insurance.
    Also, to help test changes before they are rolled out to users.
