      As a former helldesk minion I can assure you that linux users are not even on my radar of people that waste everyone’s time with troubleshooting simple things.

        Yeah, mac-tards are the worst. “I want this to do all the exact same things as windows but I refuse to use windows”

          Most of my mac users were fine, the people i had a problem with didn’t matter what OS they used, it was the ones that complain a thing isn’t working, you ask for confirmation that the thing is plugged in, they say yes it is plugged in, then you physically move to the workstation to find that it is not plugged in. If you have a legit problem, even if you caused it we’re still cool. If you waste my time by lieing to me we are no longer cool.

      For development Unix-like OSes are far superior to Windows. Macs mostly work OOTB but are far too expensive if you need anything more than the base config. As for me, never had issues with my mic and webcam under Ubuntu and even Arch, pipewire Just Works in my experience.

              I am not a techy person, not a programmer, nada, and linux (particularly fedora) has always worked with little to no issue for me.

              The hardest thing I really ever have to do is enable the rpm fusion repos on a fresh install, and the only problem I consistently encounter is discord trying to take control of, and subsequently destroy, my audio when using bluetooth headphones.

              I just use it because it is an easier, privacy & user respecting system.

              I guess you only use ssh, docker or k8s? For serious software development, integration between the windows host and the Linux VM is far from seamless, or was last time I checked. Anyway, when all the software you use is unix-first, why bother jumping through hoops to make it run under an inferior OS?

              Linux let’s you have low level control over your hardware, windows blocks that.

              Running linux under windows offers nothing beyond familiarity of linux tools, which obviously are better suited to a linux environment.

              If you prefer windows it has its own closed ecosystem, but at this point its really just preference x monopoly

                  A container with what permissions? Please prove me wrong and do a gpu pass through. Oh wait its a container so it still is CONTAINED within windows, and inherits its limitations.

                  Just run Linux with wine/VM if you really got such a windows hard on, wine van essentially be used as a windows container

      I just use qpwgraph so if audio isn’t playing, either it isn’t registering (source apps fault, doesn’t happen often though) or it’s going to the wrong place and I can quickly switch it around. Bonus points for being able to route music through your microphone to play it for teammates
