I wanna use Linux, but gaming is stopping me.

I use Linux for work. Windows for entertainment.

So you have like a dual boot on the same computer or different computers?

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Different computers. My work provide me a dedicated work computer. My work doesn’t really care which OS I’m using on their computer. Only that I’m doing the job, and I’m most productive on Linux.

But if I for some reason had only one computer I would probably dual boot to keep my work and personal life separate.

Lucky duck. My work got me a Macbook even though I requested a cheaper Linux dev machine.

If the choice was between Mac vs Windows I would probably go with Mac, as it’s Unix based.

In a previous job I had to use Windows. I think it’s tolerable at best. Thankfully WSL along with the new Windows terminal is pretty good these days. I don’t miss the days when MSYS was the only Linux-like option for windows.

Used to be stuck on Windows, before WSL made it in most corporate deployments. The only way I kept some level of sanity was by totally foregoing working on Windows itself, and I just worked off a VM.

Holy shit. When was WSL released?

Honestly, for a work machine, I may just take macOS over Linux given the choice. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I've yet to get a work-provided machine that didn't have something that doesn't quite work correctly on Linux, or they'll limit which distro I can use because of some compatibility issue with their mandatory security software, or whatever other BS.

I use two separate harddisks. It's the easiest and cleanest option
