Going from Windows to Linux then back to windows sucks.
Edit; Going through the comments it seems it doesn’t matter so long as IT supports the operating system, which is fair, in my scenario I’m not involved with our systems-management/IT/developers unless it’s an update to the software we use.
My desktop at work is still Windows 10 and while it works, kinda, my keyboard shortcuts are almost entirely different, I’ve encountered numerous moments where switching tab either by alt-tabbing or by the taskbar not working at all forcing me to minimize everything till I find that tab, couple times it wouldn’t even boot.
I started unplugging the Ethernet cable when I leave for work so IT can’t do any behind the scenes when I’m away.
I dredd the day they force a win 11 desktop on me.
i consider myself lucky in that i’ve only been forced to use windows twice and both times they were okay with wsl; so i used that instead.
i’m guessing it depends on what your work is and since i’ve primarily worked on linux & solaris; there was no reason why i couldn’t use it as my primary means for getting work done.
both times, they used the microsoft office suite (primarily outlook, word and excel) which was always problematic; but i suspec that’s a permanent thing since that’s still not even seemless when you have to go back an forth on those apps on a mac and windows.
