  • 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 / screen
    • Ansible
    • 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.

  • 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.

  • Oh my that sounds even worse than at my company. I don't understand also why disallow WSL. And yeah I don't think that this is laptop's fault anymore, just has been enshititifacted with software bloat.

  • I think I'm also in this group right now. Just not Windows...

  • It is always interesting to me that companies can afford new Macs but not use old laptops for Linux.

  • Sometimes you can't afford to be picky but with more skills and experience I want it too. And yeah for now X11 is just better supported than Wayland.

  • Understandable.

  • Great! However I think you are lucky one.

  • Trueee Just get the job done and that's all.

  • Maybe Ubunto too. Sometimes they allow you to use Linux as sys admin.

  • True but I miss quickness of Linux, being native with my apps and just having my environment. I don't think I ever gotten a nice working environment as it is constant struggle. On Linux I can say it's good enough.

  • Mac is still better evil than Windows but same thinking.

  • What about native Linux apps do you miss?

  • Shame but understandable.
