which i got for free due to working on open source stuff Interesting. I didn't know JetBrains was free for open source. It makes sense. | 18:15:54 |

Kate because i contribute to it :) Nice! | 18:16:09 |
 Aks | yeah they gave me their whole toolkit for one year because i work on a open source game project | 18:16:16 |
| Aks | which is my own project | 18:16:19 |
| Aks | i didnt expect it at all :D | 18:16:24 |
 Mike D | Desktop/Laptop are fedora, work is a win 10 thinclient, but with code-server, its basically the same. (Work is full on-prem exchange/outlook/office, so theres never getting away from that) | 18:17:51 |

| Aks | we have the outlook stuff too but we have linux clients conf'd to work with it | 18:18:18 |
| Aks | i feel like theres enough of grumpy linux users in our company that they made it happen 😂 | 18:18:34 |
| Mike D | haha, we supposedly have a linux thinclient load we can get, but its not worth the battle because our helpdesk barely can reset passwords, I dont need them to try to troubleshoot a linux workstation I dont have admin on. | 18:19:14 |
 interloper | Where I work offers laptops with ubuntu installed, but that was only recently | 18:19:22 |
| interloper | But I just use a mac since it's close enough | 18:19:45 |
| Aks | i just tell everyone nowadays i work way faster on linux | 18:19:47 |
| Aks | and if they ask why i go "i contribute to a linux project" and thats usualyl enough 😂 | 18:20:10 |
| interloper | Just tell them you contribute to ArseLinux OS | 18:20:31 |
| go_go_tdh | I am not officially in the IT group at work. I implemented a solution and pitched a Debian server. I told them I could support the server. They eventually said "No. It has to be Windows and it has to be supported by our server team."
On an unrelated note, a bad Windows update took the thing down y'day. Good thing I got them to agree to a backup server on a separate host in a separate data center. | 18:20:45 |

Just tell them you contribute to ArseLinux OS sounds something that would come from LNL Labs | 18:20:54 |

| Aks | gpu works fine -> update windows -> gpu starts artifacting | 18:21:51 |

i feel like theres enough of grumpy linux users in our company that they made it happen 😂 I wish my company had Linux users... grumpy or otherwise | 18:22:07 |
| Aks | rip that gtx 780, hardly knew ye | 18:22:11 |

I wish my company had Linux users... grumpy or otherwise we do a lot of embedded so it comes with the territory i suppose :D | 18:22:30 |
| Aks | just so much easier to set up embedded stuff on linux from what i've heard | 18:22:46 |
| go_go_tdh | Probably so. I know Windows has up to date embedded platforms but most of what I see from vendors is running ancient embedded windows versions | 18:23:45 |
| Aks | yeah im sure a lot of embedded stuff is also easier to dev on windows due to the popularity of windows so tooling is made for them | 18:24:34 |
| Aks | but everyone i've seen work on embedded daily drives linux at work | 18:24:53 |
| Aks | since i work on test automation that runs on linux boxes, its good for me to have p much identical linux box so i can dev easier | 18:26:39 |
| Aks | im kinda tired of TA though and hope to do something else soon.. | 18:27:03 |
| Aks | more interested in writing code than just testing it | 18:27:20 |
| Aks | ideally both | 18:27:24 |
