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?

    Yes, I use Fedora and love to break the permissions of shared Office-Documents. /s

    The only thing I have learned is not to go too deep into customisation. Because people watching me using hyprland are some kind of disgusted.

    I just use KDE with dark breeze theme. That’s enough and nobody gets hurt.

        “Disgusted” was a fast choice for wording. They look confused. Someone told me he get a headache by the fast movings through the workspaces.

        For explanation I use 3 or 4 workspaces with full max. Windows and switch through them with super + tab. And had this wiggle animation running, too. As an user it is really fancy but if you are watching, it could hurt.

          I mean that sounds like a them problem. Why would your setup, your ergonomics be influenced by others?
