Argue with IT that it takes 4 minutes for their new machine to confirm I typed the password correctly.
I do this every day. They are telling me it is a security measure. I hate our IT dept.
Complain, as I usually do at work where we are forced to use windows and WSL crashes are frequent.

I have to for work and I’m genuinely considering putting together a presentation about how big of a HIPAA problem it is for us to have ai integration everywhere.
I’m pretty sure that can be disabled with Active Directory shenanigans and whatnot. I have to use Windows for work as well, in a HIPAA-esque-compliant manner, and I never see the constant AI integrations that people often complain about in Windows. I know our IT team heavily modifies and manages our Windows environments for us.
I would use it to download Linux.
Same but I will use it to download freebsd
EDIT: because I misspelled freebsd as ferbsd so I use EDIT to fix my spellings
fair enough
It depends why I need to use it.
To help someone on their Windows computer with an otherwise unrelated issue? I just help them. Pushing Linux unasked all the time just pushes people away. Better keep it for when that is a relevant answer to their problem.
If my boss decides Linux is no longer an option? I would fiercly contest it, but if that’s to no avail I would seriously consider switching jobs. Even outside worries about loosing sovereignity I simply won’t be very happy working on Windows every day.
I see no reason of this happening at my personal devices. If something doesn’t run on Linux I just don’t use it, same for hardware that’s incompatible with it. Worked well for years now, never felt like I missed out much.
I have to for work, most of my job is in the cloud but I still find myself going “fucking windows goddamn shitty operating system” every once in a while. And man when I do have to use powershell damn is that shit ass
A coworker put it better than I ever could:
“Microsoft is the only company which has ever managed to make a shell that takes 10 seconds to autocomplete”
And I think that’s poetry.
(Yes, I know there are many more reasons why pwsh sucks, but there’s beauty in the simplicity of this one)
Cry inside
Do as much work as possible in WSL or a Linux VM in hyperv.
I can’t imagine why I would.
grab a knives and some sticks and make things instead.
fuck microslop
