Hell, even my 70 year old parents are using Linux for 7 years without any problems. It's often hard to convince people but I will never tire to explain it to people like ELI5. I'm hardcore Linux user and I migrate everybody in my area.

Not bloody likely.Not work PC but friends and their friends.

No joke, it took the better part of a year to migrate everyone to Win 10 and some systems still had not been migrated when I left.Īnd you 'migrated over 300 people to Linux' and no one hit you over the head with a computer?

You did no such thing, at my last job migrating people from Windows 7 to Windows 10 was a nightmare, with numerous managers and directors and employees complaining and legacy software that could not be installed on 64bit OSes because it used a 16bit installer. You can call my boss to fire meĪnd installing Linux over Windows is not 'to vandalize' PC. I invested a lot of time and work and everything is working as intended. They understand very well all the benefits I bring to the company, be assured, so there's no need to fire me. Actually all my three bosses are IT guys - developers. The main target is to get work done and if it's without the neverending Windows problems, the better. Yep, the licenses are useless now but nobody cares anymore for everything is running very smooth.

There isn't a single problem, everything just works. After the migration all my problems are gone. Yeah, it's not perfect but it's a working solution. The single problem was the SVN client for all of them are using Turtoise but I substitute it with RabbitVCS. Three people are using PowerBi from time to time and I have installed it in a VM.

Ksnip is way better than Greenshot, you can check. As a Greenshot alternative I installed Ksnip and Flameshot. The other software that was used on Windows was Greenshot, Teams, Evernote, etc. Everybody is using Office 365, and LibreOffice as a local office solution as a standard way before I migrate them, so there are no technical problems. I will be blunt, you are a liar and a poor one at that.Believe or not, It's your problem at all.

I would have fired you in a minute for even suggesting such a thing, you are basically claiming that you wasted 30 plus Windows licenses to install a half-assed 'alternative' that lacks even a basic decent office suite, and sorry, but LibreOffice and the like just don't cut it. There is no way you moved 30 people that use MS Office every day, along with any other closed source, proprietary software, to Linux, and associated open source 'equivalents' and not only did no one complain but they also brought their home pc's for you to vandalize. ' then, yes, I happily choose the 'emulator way'.Įven though, and in this case, especially, because the program was designed for a Windows OS. If I could choose between 'Star Citizen + Wine + Linux' or 'Star citizen + Windows + Cortana + Telemetry +.

Like: license costs, account binding, Cortana, telemetry, cloud based user data and profiles, non-replaceable and cumbersome UI/UX, broken updates, unreliable patches sometimes bringing in more problems than fixing, non-modularity, no package management, non-configurability of (pre-) installed apps, etc etc.

In a sane world this might look weird (aside from emulating hardware that's not available readily anymore) but reality is weird.īecause the OS the program / game was designed for is just not only the program launcher but also so much more in this case. I am playing one Windows based game using a framework designed to mimic the very closed source proprietary OS that I still use at work (and all my colleauges in the team use Linux at home and moan about how cumbersome all the Windows tools and programs are for their daily work but corporate rules make them use it).īeing able to run a program that is not designed for the platform with a (not) emulator is great.īecause: I get to use the program / game I want or need to run - without the OS that it is usually run on. Congrats, you are playing one Windows based game using a framework designed to 'mimic' (because WINE is not an emulator, lol) the very closed source proprietary OS that you seem to hate.
