  This applies to software dev too. Except instead of windows updates it’s debugging Nvidia drivers on Linux

  This is why scientists shouldn’t use Windows. Well, nobody should, but relevant to the post, this is why scientists shouldn’t.

    we used Macs at my last lab

    I hated them because I’m a Linux nerd but at least they were reliable

    (I suppose if my research PC ran Linux I’d spend all my time configuring it instead of researching…!)

    Why shouldn’t people use windows?

    You can’t expect the average person to be tech savvy enough to use Linux and most people cannot afford a Mac. Especially in developing countries.

    Windows is the best OS for the average person. Just not for advanced users such as researchers

      You don’t need to be tech savvy to use Linux there are more than enough distros where you need as much knowledge as you need to use windows I wouldn’t call everybody how owns a steam deck a tech savvy person. The only user friendly advantage is that Windows comes for some reason preinstalled on almost every device. If this weren’t the case and the average consumers had a choice the picture would be very different.

      I don’t understand. They are tech savvy enough to use Windows tho (and not be used by it)?

    Updating my computers from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 was a whole day process. It doesn’t help that the upgrade tool requires you to press enter every so often.

    (Yeah yeah I should try other distros. I’ll play with other distros when I’m not spending my time as pictured in the meme.)

      Yes, but atleast you can shooter when you want to do that, you clan plan ahead and block out a day specifically for just updating.

      Can’t say the same about a windows update. (Sometimes you can put it off till a certain date, if you catch it)

    POV: devs develop for the most common OS and people use what works with little troubleshooting

  You guys are using windows?

  source

  • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah, because the software for all the instruments is only available for Windows.

    • ftbd@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My condolences.

      My person you can run windows as a virtual machine under Linux.

    Theoretical physicist here: the hole chair uses Linux, except for two persons that use MacOS

    Almost everyone I know in chemistry. Almost no one I know in physics. Things are weird that way.

  Jeez, you fools. How about rolling into the lab at 11, drinking coffee till 11:30, have at most half an hour to reminiscue about yesterday’s failures, while looking at results well-knowing they’re unsalvageable, and then going for lunch with the crew?

  If you start your day at 8:30, you misunderstood that it’s not your paycheck that makes a PhD great.

    I rarely arrived at the lab before 10am as an undergrad intern. (And usually stayed until 7–8pm because I goofed around too much and it took forever to get all the cells taken care of 🫠)

    Flexible schedules are a luxury I miss dearly

  When’s the last time a Windows update took more than 30 minutes? It takes about the same time to update all the packages on my FreeNAS box as it does to install windows

    Obviously their grands only paid for SATA hard drives and a 150kbps network bandwidth.

    Even in 2024, so many pcs people regularly use are utter shite. It’s gotten to the point where people just expect it to take 5 seconds for the ui to respond to anything and consider it an unchangeable fact of life.

    It took a lot of effort the other day to convince a boomer that Edge freezing while using it and losing all the data was actually, in fact, undesirable and unintended behavior.

  I’m not a scientist but that’s pretty much how it goes for me.
