I am not a techy person, not a programmer, nada, and linux (particularly fedora) has always worked with little to no issue for me.
The hardest thing I really ever have to do is enable the rpm fusion repos on a fresh install, and the only problem I consistently encounter is discord trying to take control of, and subsequently destroy, my audio when using bluetooth headphones.
I just use it because it is an easier, privacy & user respecting system.
I guess you only use ssh, docker or k8s? For serious software development, integration between the windows host and the Linux VM is far from seamless, or was last time I checked. Anyway, when all the software you use is unix-first, why bother jumping through hoops to make it run under an inferior OS?
Linux let's you have low level control over your hardware, windows blocks that.
Running linux under windows offers nothing beyond familiarity of linux tools, which obviously are better suited to a linux environment.
If you prefer windows it has its own closed ecosystem, but at this point its really just preference x monopoly
A container with what permissions? Please prove me wrong and do a gpu pass through. Oh wait its a container so it still is CONTAINED within windows, and inherits its limitations.
Just run Linux with wine/VM if you really got such a windows hard on, wine van essentially be used as a windows container
Exactly, hence why gpu pass through is impossible. Due to a limitation on windows. Cause the install isnt nearly equivalent to a full linux install. Its almost like it has a reduced set of features
Nah once you get used to Linux, it's hard to go back to Windows, it has nothing to do with what I think is cool.
Like literally a third of the people here. Big deal, means less than nothing.
Being a sysadmin doesn't make you a desktop user
Keep dreaming buddy.
There is always a bigger fish.
Lol. Cute. In another comment you mentioned being born in the 90s. Some of us have been making money using linux since you were in early elementary school.
Well I had decided not to pick on your obvious shortcomings and be polite, but since you are choosing to be an asshole - No doubt you have a hard time keeping fedora up, you can't even read usernames.
Hint: I never mentioned containers, wsl, or anything else in this thread. I just found it funny that you think you are special as a fledgling sysadmin on lemmy.
Sorry if I return insults to perceived insults. It is just who I am. I definitely do know what I'm talking about. But the one thing I have learned over and over is that it doesn't matter how much I know, there are always folks who know more. And a ton of them are here on lemmy.
Which qualifies your opinion about GNU+Linux workstations how?
Above you acknowledged that there's a difference for desktop and server cases.
You do know you can just say you prefer Windows as your desktop?
That's not an opinion, that's just an insult of people's preferences and developer's hard, often unpaid work. There's no substance or explanation, which would be fine with "I personally prefer using Microsoft Windows" but not your statements above. I really feel like you're "arguing" in bad faith.
