Going from Windows to Linux then back to windows sucks.

Edit; Going through the comments it seems it doesn’t matter so long as IT supports the operating system, which is fair, in my scenario I’m not involved with our systems-management/IT/developers unless it’s an update to the software we use.

My desktop at work is still Windows 10 and while it works, kinda, my keyboard shortcuts are almost entirely different, I’ve encountered numerous moments where switching tab either by alt-tabbing or by the taskbar not working at all forcing me to minimize everything till I find that tab, couple times it wouldn’t even boot.

I started unplugging the Ethernet cable when I leave for work so IT can’t do any behind the scenes when I’m away.

I dredd the day they force a win 11 desktop on me.

    yeah this isn’t necessarily true. I work at a large company and run Linux full time.

    they are not all the same.

    we even have dedicated Linux IT

      There is dedicated resources to Linux solely because it is the personal preference of some of the workers? It isn’t some sort of business requirement?

        Many of us find ourselves to be more effective on Linux. There is some business requirement in terms of the service runs on Linux, but they didn’t have to let people have it on their personal workstations
