  Makes sense for sysadmin or something but little sense for developers and engineers writing code to build corporate applications.

    Well enterprise software is either going to run on windows or Linux servers, so sounds like windows and Linux make good dev workstations.

    My current work gives devs macs but we build everything for Linux so it’s a bit of a nuisance. And Apple moving to arm made running vms basically impossible for a while, it’s a bit better now.

    Still a giant pain in the butt to have your dev environment not match the build environment architecture.

    As a developer writing code who used windows to ssh to linux servers I would disagree. But of course it depends on the company and the nature of the work, just offering my experience

      What are you writing code for?

      I literally can’t think of an example where ssh’ing into a terminal is going to give good workflow. Just using Nano or Vi?

      Like no IDE.

        Piping VSCode Server through SSH is pretty nifty.
