As an IT professional i got rid of anything Microsoft related at home years ago just to not get bothered, can't imagine anything i'm missing and shit just works.
Same. I swear, people running Windows don't really know what "just works" means.
I have Windows on my work and home machines for years. Never needed a reinstallation or recovery.
You have to explain to me what you do then, please. :) I swear, i don't do anything fancy and this is not the only windows I am exposed to.
I'm a system analyst, so I use a couple of IDE, Docker, Jypiter Notebook, Postman, MS Office
So there's no way e-v-e-r "it just works", especially docker, you have the feeling because you kind of used to it and might never seen a fast, responsive and reliable system (on the long run). I had the same kind of setup on several jobs and nope, nope-nope, noooope.
But hey, kudos if you succeed to do your job in such condition without hurting yourself, good sign of resilience. :)
I don't know what are you talking about. There was no problems or struggles with Docker or Windows for me. I installed it and run it. It just works.
I didn't have to do a reinstall since XP and been doing everyday stuff like gaming, emails, browsing but also programming/scripting.
On the contrary none of my Linux machines survived, usually either because of hardware incompatibility or dist upgrades that broke shit
I call it BS, my friend. Though, of course you could do those activities, that's not the argument. the argument is telling that you can't do that with ease, first try, in the best way (performance, stability). Dude, just switching audio input/sources is a mess on Windows, configuring an IP is a fucking joke.
I don't take in account gamer's opinion cause they tend to devalue their difficulties as soon as their 28gb cracked games has started or they logged-in 30min later (opening, downloading, upgrading) on their OriginSteamXboxLive platform.
Like running games on Linux or getting your gpu supported properly? Or wifi?
Or just having a running system after dist upgrades?
Wtf are you talking about? Have you ever used windows?
I can do both of that in less than 20 seconds.
Go to your audio manager, switch source.
Go to your network interface, configure IP.
I am an IT professional working with both and I couldn't care less if you value my opinion. I highly doubt you are doing anything with your system that I haven't done.
