Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.

Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.

    The line is between my home and the office. Linux at home for nearly twenty years and windows at work because so few know better.

      I only use Windows at work because that is what they have me on my work laptop and I haven’t replaced it. I just use Linux in a VM instead. That way I don’t need to explain a thing to internal IT, but just work within the VM.

        Just be aware that using a VM without telling IT can jeopardize your company’s IT insurance in case of an attack and can get you fired for cause.

        My work is maintaining a distributed windows network. Domain controllers VM’s and over a hundred workstations in several locations.
