Sadly I don't use Linux on the desktop, as our company doesn't support it and I have in the past tried to support linux myself and ran out of time writing a wiki trying to support it, mind you I had help from others in the company, but not enough to make a difference and subvert the entrenched Windows and MacOS crowd, who now have Linux solutions built into both. Yet our Windows users don't get the Linux Subsystem for Windows, they don't have admin, can't install Putty even and IT doesn't get it, they can't work. It takes weeks sometimes months for them to get basic access. Does this happen in all companies?
Are we doomed to use WSL and MacOS as the only solutions at work?
I saw this X storm and decided to write into my old blog, as I watch an ant walk on my desk at work, dreaming of a better future, but hey, I found a friend this morning someone who is also working on my desk to collect some food for the colony. I feel blessed to have a nice workspace, but the hours are long, so long... let us automate, we can do amazing things, remove all the shackles from us, not saying to do insecure things, Linux isn't insecure, but why are so many companies hostile to open source?
