Those titles are interchangeable.
I one time left a job where everyone had Linux workstations and went into a finance job where developers were using windows. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen.
To begin with, the PCs were highly restrictive. You either had to rely on a shitty service to request software to be installed, or had to beg for an admin account to install anything. This took days if not weeks already on onboard.
One works with interfaces that hide the actual process. No one actually understood git. They just know a few sequences of buttons. They ask me all the time when they want to do something other then add,commit,push and have no idea about even the status command. They pull up some shitty cli tool, usually within an IDE, and they act as if I'm some sort of genni or know some black magic when I type "git status", or do things like stash, or solve a conflict.
The lack of automation possibilities, or scripting, or the fact that so many things have to be done by clicking around interfaces means that everything is super slow. There is friction everywhere! On top of this you get apps freezing or crashing randomly with no information of what happened. Somehow the PCs are so incredibly bloated with company spywares that despite the fact that they are suppose to be Lenovo Ultrabooks with a lot of RAM, SSDs, and a good CPU, they run like a 15 years old laptop with a half broken hard drive.
Horrible, just horrible.
Ah you must be the new hire at my firm, welcome!
Why canβt Windows just work? Itβs such a frustrating experience
An unpopular opinion (and a bit of a rant), but honestly I actually like Win11βs design, it is to me better than Win10, and I would actually enjoy using Windows. Too bad itβs a slow and unstable piece of garabage even on my
M I C R O S O F T S U R F A C E.
I have Garuda Linux on my main laptop which works completely fine, and the whole point of the Surface was to be able to use Windows at university while avoiding fragmenting my setup with dualboot (because surely Windows will Just Workβ’ on Microsoftβs own hardware, right? /s), but Micro$oft is tempting me so hard to install Linux to the damm thing. Another point of the Surface was to actually have a full fledged computer instead of an overpriced digital notebook like the iPad is.
I also enjoy OneNote (my uni gives me acces to Office 365), which I genuenly prefer over Xournal++, but Office 365 is a completely stupid piece of unstable garbage which keeps randomly stopping working in the middle of the lecture, right when I should be annotating what the teacher is saying.
My new job issued me with a sweet ass workstation laptop... With W11
Upside is that the IT dept has about zero awareness of the governance part of cyber security. The laptop has an unlocked bios and coworkers have had no questions asked when their domain joined machines didn't check in for years.
So guess who's about to swap the ssd and roll the machine for a debian based distro. Just need to figure out drivers for the nvidia rtx 1000 ada GPU
I can feel this image as I've been working on macos due to regulations for years and then going back to linux full time was orgasmic. Its crazy how much better dev experience on Linux is.
Can confirm. I am on this image
Can we avoid using the space tourists for memes?
Unless we're ridiculing them, obvs.
I mean, it kinda is to me, the base meme image isn't of them being in space or doing any of the "tourism" parts, but of them being "so grateful to be on the ground" because they couldn't "handle it"

Agreed, this was my first thought. We do not need to make these monsters into a meme. Let them go back into non-existence.
If anyone wants to listen to a 40 minute rant about it, always recommend Angela Collier.
They were not space tourists.
They were cargo. Marketing material for Jeff's rocket-powered overcompensation that just happened to need oxygen to stay fresh.

Was helping a friend install Windows on his new PC this week and my god it was such an awful experience. Just looking at the start menu had me in tears.
Must not be a good friend if you installed windows on his PC.
A decent prank though.

I have had to use windows for like the last two weeks and the taskbar crashes and freezes constantly so I put a bat file on my desktop that kills and reopens explorer.exe also if my bluetooth headphones disconnect while my mic is muted it refuses to unmute... I have to reboot. This is what people say is a "it just works" experience.
It's so funny how you can crash the whole Windows desktop by mounting a network share, disconnecting from the network and trying to access it.
Found that at a previous job where technicians would frequently connect and disconnect from networks. Also, it's impossible to unmount such a share from explorer or PowerShell. Only the old CMD tool works
No one has more problems on windows than a linux-first user.
Every thread like this has people that can't seem to get windows to do the bare minimum, but I have yet to have a single hiccup in months. I don't get it. This isn't even a "linux bad" comment, I dual boot and enjoy my linux install as well, the only "problems" I have on there are from being new to linux.
I'm wondering if some of those issues are just simple annoyances that Windows users are used to putting up with. Because I had lots of those before switching to Linux that I didn't think were fixable.
The only time I had my windows install be completely unbootable was when dual booting. The rest was always an issue.
It's even a work pc, there's a thread on the microsoft forums detailing how common the problem is.

Literally me after using my moms Windows 11 Laptop for 10 Minutes.
How can you not love W11? It has more telemetry, AI, privacy violating features, garbage uit (not to mention double ui for the same thing) than ever.
Perfect right?

Winderp has unskippable ads and begging for paid subscriptions even in their card games now. Can't even play Solitaire in peace. It's just a deeply enshittified OS.
Install Win7 version of solitaire
Same with Android after having to endure iOS for a few minutes

I'm in this picture and I don't like it. Fuck my work computer
hahaha!
Everytime
Every three months for about 30 minutes Iβm forced to use windows in a VM. Itβs so awful dealing with the pop upβs, forced updates, and background bullshit that I feel the need for a shower after.
I can't watch Disney plus in the browser on Linux, which kinda sucks. Fuck Disney, but also, anybody knows how to fix it? I tried changing the user agent override, but that didn't work.
I can watch all the stream services from Linux you should enable DRM.
VM Windows. Downsides: obvious. Upsides: you can give it a funny name, like, Mousesoft Cheesedoughs Disney-bution.
You have to enable DRM in Firefox, then it will work. But Disney only allows low resolution streams over browsers.

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.
Me after every workday.
