Have you tried working for a small-mid size company? I got the same vibe in big companies, now im in a company of 50 people and they just do not care how weird i am, no middle managers trying to justify their existence, as long as you're doing your best you're good. Like i'm sure that doesnt apply to all small companies, but i'd certainly keep it in mind for the future

Hmm, how very 1984

Microsoft does this painfully often

Wellp, i can't. Several games dont boot, some boot but are wonky as hell. Good for you that you have everything you need, i do not. I use gaming as an example, but so many essentials are either not there, or wonky as hell. And that's assuming you can keep the damn thing running without spending a saturday a month trying to unfuck your system after a driver update or whatever. Sure. I can get all the compatible hardware and do all the research to make sure everything probably doesnt impode, but at that point, why not just use windows.

I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

/remind me in 10 years

I hope so, let's get some semi-healthy competition going, maybe they'll even have to provide a better user experience instead of just seeing who can milk their users the most optimally. Probably not but one can dream.
