    Argue with IT that it takes 4 minutes for their new machine to confirm I typed the password correctly.

    I do this every day. They are telling me it is a security measure. I hate our IT dept.

    I have to for work and I’m genuinely considering putting together a presentation about how big of a HIPAA problem it is for us to have ai integration everywhere.

      I’m pretty sure that can be disabled with Active Directory shenanigans and whatnot. I have to use Windows for work as well, in a HIPAA-compliant manner, and I never see the constant AI integrations that people often complain about in Windows. I know our IT team heavily modifies and manages our Windows environments for us.

        Ours does too, but only to disable your ability to do so yourself, so both the Dell ai and the teams ai periodically kill the machine’s limited memory to ask if I want them to harvest patient data.

    It depends why I need to use it.

    To help someone on their Windows computer with an otherwise unrelated issue? I just help them. Pushing Linux unasked all the time just pushes people away. Better keep it for when that is a relevant answer to their problem.

    If my boss decides Linux is no longer an option? I would fiercly contest it, but if that’s to no avail I would seriously consider switching jobs. Even outside worries about loosing sovereignity I simply won’t be very happy working on Windows every day.

    I see no reason of this happening at my personal devices. If something doesn’t run on Linux I just don’t use it, same for hardware that’s incompatible with it. Worked well for years now, never felt like I missed out much.

      A coworker put it better than I ever could:

      “Microsoft is the only company which has ever managed to make a shell that takes 10 seconds to autocomplete”

      And I think that’s poetry.

      (Yes, I know there are many more reasons why pwsh sucks, but there’s beauty in the simplicity of this one)

    I had to use Windows 10 in my last job. First thing I did was to install classic shell and start menu and Linux subsystem (wsl). And I always went through Windows services to disable what I don’t need. I guess I’d do the same on Windows 11.
