I’m just tired. On the last post about having Linux at our work, many people that seems to be an IT worker said there have been several issues with Linux that was not easy to manipulate or control like they do with Windows, but I think they just are lazy to find out ways to provide this support. Because Google forces all their workers to use Linux, and they have pretty much control on their OS as any other Windows system.
Linux is a valid system that can be used for work, just as many other companies do.
So my point is, the excuse of “Linux is not ready for workplaces” could be just a lack of knowledge of the IT team and/or a lack of intention to provide to developers the right tools to work.
Sure, it’s IT teams that don’t want to support it. I’m lucky enough that our IT supports all major OSs and so we can more or less choose. Most tools certain jobs require however do dictate the OS. For SW development Linux is absolutely feasible.
Yeah, my work doesn’t really support Mac at 100%, but we still use it as docker on Windows is much more a pain, so we are using Mac devices outside that Windows system controlled environment, they told us, and we lack the access to the VPN, still we use remote windows to access on our work network, and we can also use Microsoft Office this way and feels like having it installed on our Mac. (Our Mac don’t have licenses for MS Office)
So as I said, I’m tired of people making excuses… it’s perfectly valid 😭
