If she’s an astronaut then I’m a gynecologist.

And a plumber.

I one time left a job where everyone had Linux workstations and went into a finance job where developers were using windows. It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.

To begin with, the PCs were highly restrictive. You either had to rely on a shitty service to request software to be installed, or had to beg for an admin account to install anything. This took days if not weeks already on onboard.

One works with interfaces that hide the actual process. No one actually understood git. They just know a few sequences of buttons. They ask me all the time when they want to do something other then add,commit,push and have no idea about even the status command. They pull up some shitty cli tool, usually within an IDE, and they act as if I’m some sort of genni or know some black magic when I type “git status”, or do things like stash, or solve a conflict.

The lack of automation possibilities, or scripting, or the fact that so many things have to be done by clicking around interfaces means that everything is super slow. There is friction everywhere! On top of this you get apps freezing or crashing randomly with no information of what happened. Somehow the PCs are so incredibly bloated with company spywares that despite the fact that they are suppose to be Lenovo Ultrabooks with a lot of RAM, SSDs, and a good CPU, they run like a 15 years old laptop with a half broken hard drive.

Horrible, just horrible.

I can feel this image as I’ve been working on macos due to regulations for years and then going back to linux full time was orgasmic. Its crazy how much better dev experience on Linux is.

Can confirm. I am on this image

Winderp has unskippable ads and begging for paid subscriptions even in their card games now. Can’t even play Solitaire in peace. It’s just a deeply enshittified OS.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. Fuck my work computer

If Linux was introduced to me a lot sooner and I wasn’t such a jackass that had to play video games on my computer, I would literally have switched a long fucking time ago. I’ve used all operating systems at this point and Linux ecosystem is far better. What you can’t do on Linux is shit I don’t even want to do. Most of the time.

Me after every workday.

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.

Getting sand and bugs on their lips?

She looks practiced… A little too practiced.

I am repulsed by windows. I would just give up completely entirely on computing if I had to use Windows. I will go to extreme lengths to maintain my ability to develop and work on Linux. It is a real operating system while Windows is the virus. Also, Apple sucks.

5 minutes and i’d be making sweet, sweet love to that sand.
