  • Interesting... But you use it at work and it is allowed?

  • At least they have some kind of choice...

  • Just let's say using it for PuTTY is fine.

  • Hah I don't have that privilege but same mindset. It is weird to me that in many companies you were deprived of choice at least. Linux can be worse too but let me just try it and see.

  • Automation of the Cloud deployment.

    • OpenStack with Kolla Ansible
    • just Ansible
    • sometimes Bash scripting or Python

    Monitoring

    • Prometheus with Grafana and AlertManager

    Bare metal automation

    • Some BMC stuff
    • MAAS

    Fileserver maintance

    • MooseFS with Samba
    • Ceph OSDs cluster

    And any other that for now I don't have much time like

    • AWX with Kubernetes
  • Haha nice. I heard that office 365 is okay but for let's say 10000 rows Excel it lacks performance.

  • Hmm that is also a nice a way to put it. However when you are slowed you can be demanded more productivity even though you cannot do anything about it. Maybe except unpaid overtime. Do you have anything for this?

  • Yeah, it is slow in the end, not native, many things to configure (like proxies) and so on...

    Great! Was it hard also to switch to MacOS as a Linux user for work?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
