Interesting… But you use it at work and it is allowed?

At least they have some kind of choice…

Just let’s say using it for PuTTY is fine.

Hah I don’t have that privilege but same mindset. It is weird to me that in many companies you were deprived of choice at least. Linux can be worse too but let me just try it and see.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Automation of the Cloud deployment.

• OpenStack with Kolla Ansible
• just Ansible
• sometimes Bash scripting or Python

Monitoring

• Prometheus with Grafana and AlertManager

Bare metal automation

• Some BMC stuff
• MAAS

Fileserver maintance

• MooseFS with Samba
• Ceph OSDs cluster

And any other that for now I don’t have much time like

• AWX with Kubernetes

Haha nice. I heard that office 365 is okay but for let’s say 10000 rows Excel it lacks performance.

Hmm that is also a nice a way to put it. However when you are slowed you can be demanded more productivity even though you cannot do anything about it. Maybe except unpaid overtime. Do you have anything for this?

Try this terminal emulator then https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2

Yeah, it is slow in the end, not native, many things to configure (like proxies) and so on…

Great! Was it hard also to switch to MacOS as a Linux user for work?

The worst part is it is not Windows fault. The pure kernel and the system without any bloat works great. I tried AtlasOS once and I felt bad for Microsoft engineers that their work is being spoiled with greed, bloat, enshititifaction. Everything was going smoothly and flawlessly.

But so many components are just… Hacky… Unnecessary… Just weird that it barely works especially so many companies don’t know what they are doing. Then the dependency hell happens of this software.

Linux on the other hand is so much transparent.

Less bloaty? How much?

Yep, many people complain about Wayland and just graphic things in general. On Windows on the other hand sometimes I cannot click buttons. Example: unmute myself in Teams. Why? Because the docking station after some time cannot figure out where is the focus and also Electron sucks. And many other thing like weird behaviour with moving apps’ windows from one screen to another.

How do you like it?

Yeah that’s another thing that Windows can break in the same way as Linux.

For me it’s

• apt
• vim / neovim
• tmux / screen
• Ansible
• BAAAAASH
• and some other commands that I use seldom but from time to time.

Simple so you probably fine with that. I do a lot of automation so besides using Microsoft Office I feel like I’m being heavy with everything.

Oh my that sounds even worse than at my company. I don’t understand also why disallow WSL. And yeah I don’t think that this is laptop’s fault anymore, just has been enshititifacted with software bloat.

It is always interesting to me that companies can afford new Macs but not use old laptops for Linux.

Sometimes you can’t afford to be picky but with more skills and experience I want it too. And yeah for now X11 is just better supported than Wayland.
