It is entirely dependent on the field.

And it's dependent on how hard the Vendor Lock-In is.

I can't use anything but Linux professionally. My MacBook exists solely for SSH with X forwarding and running a Windows VM for that one piece of fucking vendor software that only exists for Windows. (But we already wrote a replacement for part of that)

If you watched the video, you’d know it’s the reasons why Linux is ready for most professional work

If it were an article, I would have read it.

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Touché. But it’s c/videos

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Should be /c/shouldhavebeenanarticle

Lemmy threw the text above automatically. It doesn't look great, but it's there.

To those who are down voting, he is saying it is ready with examples.

The latest announcements regarding windows also brings me to the linux route again.

While I use it in the home environment I still have some software that must work. I will test drive on an older laptop first and will see how far it goes.

For server / network I already use linux a lot, for desktop I am still not conviced, yet.

I've had a great time with proton lately, even for non-games.

[–] Fermiverse@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting, as I know proton from the gaming side.

I've had success adding the exe/MSI to steam manually and then running from there. Proton takes care of the rest most of the time.
