This applies to software dev too. Except instead of windows updates it’s debugging Nvidia drivers on Linux
Also the chart is same for after lunch
You guys are using windows?
Yeah, because the software for all the instruments is only available for Windows.
My condolences.
My person you can run windows as a virtual machine under Linux.
Sure, but I highly doubt they are making policy where they work. I don’t think most employers would be happy about some random researcher not only plugging in a flash drive from home, but using it to install unapproved software (a full OS at that).
If you’re cold they’re cold pug that random flashdrive from the ground out side into the nearest computer.
Is it alright to go around wiping the OS off of other people’s computers?
- is what your comment reads like to me.
To be clear: each machine generally needs a computer to be permanently plugged into it. Generally the computer belongs to the university. You’re not plugging in your own personal laptop into the machine. Saying to install Linux on these computers is essentially tampering with the university’s electronics and IT will be very unhappy that you did that.
Yes you are doing them a favor.
No, you are giving them extra work since they have to reinstall Windows on them again
No, helping.
Theoretical physicist here: the hole chair uses Linux, except for two persons that use MacOS
Almost everyone I know in chemistry. Almost no one I know in physics. Things are weird that way.
When’s the last time a Windows update took more than 30 minutes? It takes about the same time to update my FreeNAS box as it does to install windows/upgrade to a new version
Obviously their science grands only paid for SATA hard drives and a 150kbps network bandwidth.
I’m not a scientist but that’s pretty much how it goes for me.
Who put the camera In my cubicle?
