Because a handful of programs and likely my job will force me to use Windows. I'm interviewing next week for a position where they'll give me "all IT equipment", and there were several technical questions about Windows in a prior interview, so no Linux there.
Still, whenever I can choose to do so, e.g. at home, I pick Linux.
Sounds to me like radical terrorism will help convince them to change to and port their programs to Linux
"Bearded man with penguin fetish holds fellow office workers hostage, more at 11."
LMAO
Haha, I could see that
I would straight up refuse job if it forced me to use Windows, however I mostly do server/cloud/dev so it just makes sense.
Considering I have no income right and I've been rejected from ~150 jobs, I need to take what I can get.
Whaaaat? You filthy windows lover.
But seriously though, some people talk here like if folks have a choice.
Do you know how truly privileged you are to be able to consider not taking a source of income for something like that? Lol
Yeah as an engineer in factories Iβd be shocked if someone let me use linux
That's literally been the types of jobs I've been applying for, and they always want me to be an instant expert in their proprietary SCADA/DCS/PLC software even for "fresh graduate" positions. Not using proprietary software is tantamount to not working in manufacturing engineering.
Just go ahead and ask them. I mean I don't know anything about your job, but usually nowadays there is little reason to stick to Windows with Office 365 and stuff.
Most of the time it just never got challenged because no one cared enough. So it's not like they "insist on Windows". It's "they didn't bother yet".
Of course you'll likely be faced with the myth of maintenance. Counter that with security (homogeneous environment is very good against malware and such) and missing license costs to convince the C*O. Done.
