      I’m on Ubuntu at work! The only employee on Linux at a tech company of >150 people! (Where are my Linux nerds?)

      Kind of yeah, the rest of the working world uses Windows for good reasons.

          Legacy software with incredible backwards compatibility, exponetially more software options, user familiarity, pretty much everything that active directory provides from user management to group policies, the list goes on.

          Im a linux guy, but the thought of rolling out even the most user friendly linux distro gives me nightmares.

      I’m in a company that uses Microsoft stuff, but I use a lot of fedora and Linux mint in VMs. The latter is based off Ubuntu at least!

      It’s actually kind of nice to be able to save the state of my VM since forced restarts are so infrequent.
