Comment And put it where? (Score 2, Insightful) 60

Calls to remove it. Ok, where should it go? Dump it somewhere else? Transporting it will have protests against transporting it through their towns. Incinerate it? People freak out over that. So where should it go? You can't break down things like heavy metals, they are elements. Trap them in filters? Ok, now the filters need to be dumped somewhere.

People want modern life and comforts but can't accept the cost of it.

Yeah ok.

I do not know what world you live in but I have never seen a Linux desktop at work in my 30 years in the workforce. I have seen some ipads coming in for stuff like warehouse workers.

MDM like Intune or JamF is great for locking stuff down and rolling out apps on devices like tablets and even Windows desktops.

Until Excel, Quickbooks, Autocad, and every business software in existence gets ported Linux is not an option.

Crazy people still think WIndows is like Dos based WIndowsME/98 and thinks have not progressed in a quarter century.

If Windows was so bad and insecure then why does corporate America use and trust to secure their data and run their apps?

Linux is not an option for 97% of people as their first time OS. I used to use Linux 25 years ago. Today I want to get work done and run games and have something just work. No nvidia wayland issues. Hardware accelerated smooth scroll and anti alaisgned fonts. Chrome goes blip blip blip on Linux when I scroll up and down. Multi monitor support is even worse. Do not let me go on about the insecurity and horrors of Xorg.

Before I get accused of being a MS fanboy and modded -1 to infinity I want to say I chose this username name back in 2000 as I was a MS hater like the rest of you when I was young. I grew up.

I hate all operating systems now including WIndows BTW ... but for different reasons :-D ... since I am old and middle aged.

Linux is great and useful for dev and cloud stuff. Windows is great for multi monitor setup and boring win32 business apps. Android/IOS for content which does support smooth scrolling and fluid animations and fonts like we are in 2007 and later. I do not want linux as a host OS or a desktop or troubleshooting my own system every weekend trying to get a proton port of a steam game.

WSL is amazing and gets the job done. Without it I would have no tools at work. We must use Windows on our desktops.
