That’s why I use whatever I want and remote into my work machine to do the things I can’t get away with on my personal one.
That doesn’t sound problematic at all
Just run windows in a VM on Linux or the other way around so you can still use Linux features. Or WSL if you like selling your soul to Microsoft
Counterpoint: at least it’s not Windows 11. I don’t care if it’s prettier if it’s less functional and more buggy. Plus, I hear it steals design cues and features from KDE, although it seems that stealing commonplace features from Linux Desktop Environments is think that’s been ongoing, if I remember correctly.
Win11 start menu is KDE with slower search and less functionality.
Ignore start menu, use Wox/PowerToys Run + Everything and enjoy instantaneous search in applications, files, settings and other features.
Try seeing if you can switch to Linux. I didn’t expect to succeed while working at Microsoft, but I haven’t had to use Windows in over a year now.
Wait, are you saying you work at Microsoft and they let you use Linux?
Yep. I presume the people in the Windows org have to use Windows, But I work in the Azure org, where people are pretty gung ho about Linux.
Recently switch to Mac for work and couldn’t be happier. Well, unless Linux becomes an option 🥸
Just use a vm
The only good thing is it means i can use Visual Studio
Also no dark mode on SQL Server Management Studio as well.
Not sure when they added it, but you can get dark mode on it. The path for me:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 19\Common7\IDEthe file you need to modify isssms.pkgundefand the line has a comment above it that says//Remove Dark ThemeJust comment the line below it. Boom
I saw a tutorial that showed that. Problem is I don’t have permission to that folder. Work computer.
Ngl also one argument against Windows is that the user doesn’t have full control on the file system by default.
I can’t just remove Edge for example, I have to use a script which disables it, but the space will never be freed.
I run Linux everywhere but work for that reason. Don’t worry, I asked work, but got denied. 😞
Mmmm can’t forget the favorite web browser for all EDGE!
