Ontopic Random Computer-Electronics Thread

She's right though, windows has all these major problems - nobody's ever successfully downloaded a torrent on windows and shit won't open half the time, but we've got too much pride in ourselves to admit it and switch to the loonix.

I use LOONIX to keep track of my CloudKey™.
 
I use W10 on my main machine because I use all sorts of crappy design tools that still don't run right under linux, and if I'm not using those tools, usually I'm in a web browser window.

I still use linux command line a fair bit for stuff like compiling/running my crappy C programs. Either I'll fire up a debian image in WSL, or ssh into my home server.

Last time I was on Linux it wasn't half a user friendly as it is now. It's a no brainer. I never understood why huge places don't use it and save a shit ton of cash. Capitalism I guess.

I use OS X on my main machines, because I run code on remote machines, so 95% of the time, I'm dealing with continuous integration tools like Jenkins, and it matters fuck-all what editor I use, because as long as I've got git, I'm good.

Uhhh, because people are fucking stupid. I can't imagine a worse IT nightmare than a company switching its users to Linux. :lol: "Save" on licensing and spend it on IT FTEs!!!
 
We use mostly OS X here.

Windows for the gaming rig, and the box that runs Zwift for @Mrs. Valve.
Same, except I don't have a "Zwift" anything.

I do keep a server/HTPC that runs Debian linux, because fuck figuring out shit I've had running since 1997 on linux (literally this time, @fly) under windows.

Zwift is the cycling software used for training and group rides. Hooks up to the smart trainer the bike is mounted on.
