The vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can’t run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can’t be justified “just to be on unix”.
For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.
At work us devs and IT folks use both windows and RHEL Linux. I’d say I use windows for business apps and Linux for everything development related except for terminal apps and visual studio. My database work is pretty much 100% linux. Everyone else in the company is likely using windows.
I always prefer the CLI at work but I wouldn’t expect the avg consumer to ever want to deal with it.
Probably the best response here. I’d also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can’t imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with “chmod”. It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don’t change their own spark plugs or oil.
I wish tools like ad-block would allow everything to download in the background but just block things like ads from rendering. That would prevent ad block detectors from knowing they are being blocked,
Maybe write up some basic admin instructions (updating, services start/stop, user management, etc). Hire yourself out as a consultant on call if you leave :D
But if you left tomorrow would they be able to admin them?
We didn’t have -R, you had to go into every subdirectory and run the command manually.
Surprised to hear stability questioned. We have RHEL systems at work that have been running 24/7 for over a year.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they get a class action suit over security/data violations.
I wish I could just keep upvoting this.
I’ll add, want to see your average person roll their eyes and say “nope”, just tell them they have to manually edit a bunch of config files to get going. How much about your car do you need to know to start your car and get somewhere?
I was going to suggest Canada or Greenland…
You always have to balance it with law enforcement. Being at the mercy of criminals, life savings stolen by scammers, etc is not freedom.
I’m going to buy it all and work on my super human…
I knew the whole idea of letting a company get your genetic fingerprint was a bad idea from the start. Being curious about my ancestry wasn’t worth it.
It reminds me of how inside people tried to claw back the meaning of the word “hacker” from general use as a negative. Sorry but that ship sailed a long time ago.
China, the new bogeyman to replace the USSR
This might push me over the edge to trying home linux. I use RHEL at work all the time. I just want to still be able to use Steam and Runescape.
