Sure, will you call the it admin where I work and tell him I'm switching?

I want to switch to Linux just as much as you, but at work I have literally zero influence over this. Private OS choice and enterprise / corporate are very different things, and businesses refusing to switch away from Windows is a very big reason why Microsoft's behaviour lately is a big deal.

OK, so what are you running at home?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I... don't have a computer at home?

Jesus, have we gone full circle already? There are people with no real computer at home again?

Smart phones and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I work with computers and clouds all day. I don't really want to spend more time on it.

I respect that and I wish I could say the same. Sadly most of my hobbies and interests are computer based so I pretty much have to.

I haven't had a computer in over a decade. I'm not a luddite, I just haven't had a need for one since I got a smart phone.

That's pretty much exactly what I meant with my comment. Not having proper computers at home because they're replaced by smartphones.
