Been a Linux user for more than a decade, but work doesn’t do Linux :( I even brought my laptop in to show them that everything works fine (AD and all), but they didn’t go for it.
I just started using Linux at work without telling anyone. On month 2 now and no one has noticed yet. They keep asking how I do all the fancy kde effects on my lappy and to do it to their windows machine. I just say “Sorry it’s a hacked Mac” with an Acer logo on the back lol.
You can rice kde like windows 10/11 or anything even like macos there are github pages and youtube videos available. Did you riced it like macos are you talking about that?
No, it’s nothing like anything, I have 3 bars and just the accent color feature from kde. A clean desktop. But none of them own a Mac or have any technological knowledge, so they just believe it.
Well for one, they don’t know about it, and if they don’t know about it, to them it’s probably some experimental piece of tech. And there’s nothing good that’ll come out of explaining it to them, it’s a bother really.
I just got told today to begin Windows 11 build testing at work. No one in the meeting seemed enthusiastic about it even going so far as to make fun of it’s many…issues. Once I’m done getting off Google services, my next move is too divorce Windows like Melinda divorced Bill!
I just wish I wasn’t so good at fucking up Linux on every machine I’ve tried it on.
Same here. Bought a laptop a few years ago, and immediately installed manjaro. I wasn’t even going to futz around with dual booting. I decided I was done with windows and their bullshit. Haven’t looked back.
That’s in fact why I’m a linux user now

Their spyware probably doesn’t work on Linux.
They use datto I think as their remote monitoring, and it works on Win, Mac, and Linux. Good guess, though!
LMAOOO

Reminds me of this classic:

No, it’s nothing like anything, I have 3 bars and just the accent color feature from kde. A clean desktop. But none of them own a Mac or have any technological knowledge, so they just believe it.
So why do you tell them it’s a Mac rather than just telling them the truth? Do you think its somehow shameful to use Linux or something?
Well for one, they don’t know about it, and if they don’t know about it, to them it’s probably some experimental piece of tech. And there’s nothing good that’ll come out of explaining it to them, it’s a bother really.
Consider ricing it its really fun and post it here !unixporn@lemmy.ml
Yeah I can’t imagine my work letting me use linux and that’s with a Linux user for an it guy.
Yeah :(
My friend uses RHEL at work daily. It’s what they use. Lucky duck.
