@TriangleSpecialist @SW42 use to be in a job like that, the reason was that the still works in a software that was made for windows, in delphi, and start from scratch to be cross platform was obviously not an option.. But any software started the develop today is easly cross platform...even the ones that arent... Well wine is making miracles this days

TriangleSpecialist@lemmy.world 12 hours agoHate to be that guy, since I only use Linux on personal machines, but I use windows at my current job. Why? Because the stuff I develop only has a windows version. Whilst it’d be possible to cross compile, it’s just more friction, and it’s easier to just develop on the target platform.
And let’s be real, lots of people don’t have the luxury of a choice in their jobs to begin with. So that’s why. (and also why the strong need to vent, seeing as this is forced onto them)

Oh I also use windows on my work machine and not anywhere else. The enterprise version is not full of crap and doesn’t force AI down your throat.

Lol that’s only because your windows admins are constantly playing defense against MS always introducing new “features” in “minor” patches.

Even the Pro version allows GPO to block all the AI crap. I did this at home because I run a small business that needs windows applications.

Damn, I find it pretty bad already, can’t imagine the pro or home versions being even worse.

If it is bad on your enterprise that is because someone isn’t disabling it in the group policies.
It can be as bad as Home if you let it.
