In reply to @akselmo:matrix.akselmo.dev
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.

Kate because i contribute to it :)
Nice!
18:16:09
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks yeah they gave me their whole toolkit for one year because i work on a open source game project 18:16:16
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks which is my own project 18:16:19
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks i didnt expect it at all :D 18:16:24
@mike:zeroent.netMike DDesktop/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
@mike:zeroent.netMike D * Desktop/Laptop are fedora, work is a win 10 thinclient, but with code-server from my linux dev vm, its basically the same. (Work is full on-prem exchange/outlook/office, so theres never getting away from that)18:18:08
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks we have the outlook stuff too but we have linux clients conf'd to work with it 18:18:18
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks i feel like theres enough of grumpy linux users in our company that they made it happen 😂 18:18:34
@mike:zeroent.netMike Dhaha, 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:envs.netinterloperWhere I work offers laptops with ubuntu installed, but that was only recently 18:19:22
@interloper:envs.netinterloperBut I just use a mac since it's close enough18:19:45
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks i just tell everyone nowadays i work way faster on linux 18:19:47
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks and if they ask why i go "i contribute to a linux project" and thats usualyl enough 😂 18:20:10
@interloper:envs.netinterloperJust tell them you contribute to ArseLinux OS 18:20:31
@go_go_tdh:matrix.orggo_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.

my last straw with windows was when windows 10 update bricked my gpu
18:21:37
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks gpu works fine -> update windows -> gpu starts artifacting 18:21:51

we do a lot of embedded so it comes with the territory i suppose :D
18:22:30
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks just so much easier to set up embedded stuff on linux from what i've heard 18:22:46
@go_go_tdh:matrix.orggo_go_tdhProbably so. I know Windows has up to date embedded platforms but most of what I see from vendors is running ancient embedded windows versions18:23:45
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks 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
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks but everyone i've seen work on embedded daily drives linux at work 18:24:53
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks 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
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks im kinda tired of TA though and hope to do something else soon.. 18:27:03
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks more interested in writing code than just testing it 18:27:20
@akselmo:matrix.akselmo.devAks ideally both 18:27:24
