I'm seriously thinking of quitting my job because they use microsoft shit.

You would though that would run on Linux, because you know, it's 2022.

Think again

Linux still have not concurred the desktop yet.

But quitting the job over it sounds stupid.

use BOTTLES or BOXES ...

@Voxera because they used monopolistic disloyal business practice such as bundled sales.

And no, it's not stupid. I spend 35+ hours of my life a week on this stupid job, I should be able to chose my tools. Using windows made my work life miserable.

@ostream If work were about fun, there would be people doing it for free.

@Fast-Nop people are

What's that old expression. A bad craftsman blames his tools?

@jespersh And a good craftsman with bad tools will either not deliver good work, or at the very least take considerably longer.

@jespersh hey go fuck yourself you windidiot.

Your kind are ok with using subpar tooling because it leads to huge teams doing fuck all in an unmaintainable pile of crap

what's wrong with spending 5 hours on something that used to take 5 minutes before Microsoft created the solution to all of your problems with abstractions that nobody asked for which you have less control over and can't debug or easily troubleshoot when they inevitably don't work because Microsoft?

You can’t escape Microsoft. Even if you are allowed to pick your OS, you’ll most probably will be forced to use some of MS’s products. Like azure devops, Teams or Outlook.

@Lensflare only if I work in corporate. If I do my own projects for customers directly, I can pick the stack

@ostream yes they used that and today apple, google and amazon are trying to do the same.

Their tools are still good.

shut up.

linux, windows ... this all are tools.

it's important to make money by any shit you can.

you can play with your fav tools on weekend or midnight.

so now fuck off and do the job.

@Voxera lmao no.

Sorry but your windows is offsetting my clock by two hours randomly, even though I turned NTP on. I had to reinstall the OS. Your "good tool" is less useful than a mechanical clock.

@Wizard1997 lmao enjoy your slave mentality. Can you bend over for me please?

It's because of this kind of shitty mindset that we end up with crappy unusable software.

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal."

@ostream

You want to quitting from your job, so you have to bend

bitch

@ostream how this thread reads to me:
"Hello I'm a linux cuckslave that would rather suck richard stallmans cock all day than be a productive member of society.
Anyway I fucked up my windows installation because I tinkered with some low level stuff I have no clue about and because windows isnt just a bunch of C-Scripts glued together by ducttape it broke and I have not the ability to read the Eventlogs so I just reinstalled the system"

If it bothers you that much, stop your whining and just quit.

Then why are you using github?

I used to work in a windows only shop. I used to install *nix enviros on those machines so I could use those tools for certain tasks. Then there were times I would ssh into Linux boxes for other things. Maybe you cannot use this for the solution you are developing, but you can get some of the tooling you like. Git bash is particularly nice for some simple tools. There is also the ability to script the really stupid shit you end up having to do. I dunno, to me the platforms are just different. They have their pros and cons. I love Linux for building embedded systems, but invariably my customers who need apps want windows apps.

@ostream while I'm not against your rant, your comments and your butthurt wording look too childish for my taste...

@EdoPhoenix more like I don't give a shit about the retarded reason why this piece of shit broke. It never happened on *nix. OSes are pretty stable nowadays, still I got a BSOD the other day.

And no idiot I don't "tinker in low-level stuff", I just want something that works

@Demolishun I try to avoid it. Also those fucks didn't make github

@netikras well I'm in character. You know what website you're on, don't you?

@Wizard1997 I do not understand what you're saying :s I want to quit my job, so I have to bend?

(no offense intended)

@Demolishun they want windows app because developpers target windows, because users want windows. Monopoly is self-reinforcing.

@ostream Never seen that problem but I have used linux, windows and unix and I have had strange things happen in all of them at least once and at the same time I have had instances of all running flawlessly for years.

But I have windows running on 6 computers at home and currently 4 linux servers and none of them have had any serious problem for years.

I do have had some strange problems with the IOS on one of our Ipads but since the others work I think that is either hardware or just bad luck.

Did the reinstall resolve the problem?

Then it apparently was some installation or config problem.

And sure, you might know linux better and know how to solve that, but not knowing your OS is not the fault of the manufacturer.

@catgirldev guess I'll create my own then

@Voxera it's possible to maintain a windows but it's just annoying, this was just an example of weird things that happens in Windows and I can't take it anymore. In Linux things takes more time to set up but once they are they usually keep working.

@ostream that I agree with, which is why most servers I have had have been linux.

@Fast-Nop if the job market allows him to find a jobs which suits him more why he shouldn’t go and get it? It isn’t written anywhere which you HAVE to dislike your job

@ostream what tools do you use?
I understand your frustration. I've been there with windows and osx. You may use the Linux subsystem. There's choco (kind of apt). There are many file explorers. I know it's not the same but it might help.

@voodoo14 nah too late I fired them. I can't work with people that takes technological choices personally and go around giving orders. If he wanted me to use windows, shoulda asked nicely

You fired them? Thought you were quitting
