Just an UwU boi living in an OwO world
Let’s answer your question with a question: Why should I reimage my whole tailored home setup, have to learn a different method of doing everything on my system, and ultimately slow my workflow for an atomic system? Sure, it’s cool, but it’s not worth upending everything that I use for. I’m glad it exists, but I don’t currently have a need for it.
Hadn’t heard a thing, wow
Freaking LOVE Lagrange, super glad to see it mentioned here
I work in IT for healthcare, and our CTO, CIO, and head of Cybersecurity are all ex-Microsoft. We’re a “Windows Shop” adopting anything Microsoft has ever made, from Windows to Azure DevOps to Access
Whoof, caught me eating the onion, I absolutely believed he’d say that

Why wait? Dual boot, get cozy, still have the ability to go back to Windows if needed, find alternative apps, and soon enough, you won’t need the Windows partition :) Worked for my partner, my brother, and myself
Honestly, that’s one of the cool parts of old internet (forums, chatrooms, etc.) is getting to know people, you get to know the community 😊
Kind of an odd one there in that as far as I understand, they were reusing one of their IP’s, Red Dead Revolver. Ironically, I played Red Dead Revolver as a kid, never played RDR2. That said, it’s not like it’s a cohesive universe between the two by any means, so your point still stands.
ngl, I don’t comment nearly as often anymore out of concern for anything I say to be misconstrued, argued, or wanting verification like this meme. Ya’ll, I’ve got a job and a life, I can’t/don’t want to sit here and fight people. The worst gets assumed of anything and it gets difficult to have productive, much less positive discourse online.
My perspective is simple, a win is a win. If someone makes the leap to Linux, that’s a huge win, regardless of distro.
I fully expected someone to respond like this, but here’s the thing…
My wife and I moved over to Manjaro when it was the hot new thing and we were new to Linux. She stays on LTS and only updates a couple times a year - and thusly have had no issues at all with it. I’m not about to demand that she let me re-image her computer and undo all of her customizations just because the internet hates Manjaro.
Simple fact is that she’s on Linux and I’m proud of her for being willing to take that step.
I named several other distros including the very ones that you man-splaned to me, don’t get hung up on the one ;)
Fedora KDE on home computer
Manjaro KDE on wife’s computer
Endeavor Sway on small laptop
MX Linux XFCE on GPD Pocket
Fedora GNOME on work non-sanctioned laptop
Ubuntu WSL on work sanctioned laptop
You’ve got excellent taste, my friend

Lord of the Flies up in there, hot damn!
aaaand then I dream about it, and wake up at 3 am with an epiphany as to how it could be done. Too bad it never works for my own projects…
ngl, I love hearing the rest of the world, it gives perspective into what we’re doing well, what we’re doing poorly, and what’s downright fucked up
In my case, I work IT for a healthcare company. Current major projects of mine include trying to migrate servers from our data centers to the cloud and setting up Disaster Recovery options. These are 2 of my 22 current projects.
On the day to day, I’ll determine what it takes for an application to run and how does it communicate to find the most optimal way we can build it within vendor and enterprise specifications. An example might be…
In this case, I can decide to use a PaaS Web Server and PaaS SQL Server, so that I don’t have to manage security and updates of the Operating System in the future. After deciding this, I might diagram how everything will connect and communicate, then build the infrastructure to fulfill this design. Lets say that means going to Azure (the cloud provider), building the Web Server and SQL Server, creating the DMZ rules (443 inbound from anywhere to WebServer and 1433 only from WebServer to SQLserver) I set up a backup system for both of these to take daily backups in case anything goes sour, then determine what steps are necessary to make sure that I can minimize the downtime for the migration, since it will take time to restore a backup from the data center’s version into the Azure version.
I’m trying to keep things simple-ish for this example because there’s a wide variety of tools, environments, and processes that come into play for any one of these builds. Most of the time is spent not in actively moving things, but in determining best courses of action and minimizing downtime, especially being a healthcare environment where an application could be actively impacting a patient’s care.
Of course there’s all the other stuff you might expect, like emails about a server not working right and meetings about how management wants to use more AI while needing to cut costs to the organization because we’re “not currently economically sustainable.”
While by no means a comprehensive view into the work, I hope it grants some insight into the role!
