Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

As an engineer, all my jobs so far have used niche internal corporate software which would only be available for Windows. This would be Document Management Systems (DMS’s), internal reporting tools (progress and hour keeping), software distribution programs etc.

And of course the engineering tools themselves are often only built for Windows, whether it’s proprietary PLC programming environments or CAD software.

That said, I can run both WSL and a corporate-approved Debian VM on the same work laptop as a compromise, for whatever makes sense for the task. Still sucks though! At home I’m a Debian fanboy 4 lyfe.
