He didn't. He wanted freax or something dumb. Someone talked him into Linux.

You know what makes my Linux distribution perfect? My windows partition that I can switch to quickly.

And green. All associated with the more popular variants pfsense, opnsense, truenas, and freebsd.

Wait so people got butthurt that a company made a deal with nix. That company also does business with ICE. And people are mad at Nix?

What am I missing?

Also companies and open source entities do business with all manner of government(s) all the time.

I think the part about teams that bothers me the most is the broader o365, windows, onedrive, SharePoint etc "integration". It's so fucking bad.

I never know where anything is saving. Locally? On my one drive? In a temp folder that is findable and that file doesn't even show up as a recent file? Or is it on some weird SharePoint backend that teams is using? Am I having an offline copy or did I just inadvertently save a copy to the shared drive?

It's all just bad enough that it's a horrendous overall user experience.

It feels like MS gets in the way more than it let's me do my job. I didn't always feel this way.

To top it off, the way people use it causes issues. Everyone does it differently. You could have people that use outlook for sending docs, people that use teams exclusively, people that use both, people that send share links in email, people that just tag you in some buried "team" you didn't ever want to be a part of.

Then they're like "did you see the thing I sent you?" ...

Like fucking where?!? Where did you send it?! Let me go search for it--oh well search sucks, the activity feed is almost too verbose so meaningful things get buried too fast.

Bleh. The amount of productivity lost to MS software offsets almost any productivity gain we get from it. It's a "wash" at best these days.

I think what he is saying is that you'd be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

They probably had an advanced distributed snapshot backup system. Where any and all employees that used the file in the last 10 years had a version of it saved from a point in time--potentially even on their personal machines or as email attachments to their personal emails.

Based on almost every post on this sub, I believe I must have ADHD.

"me watching a senior dev who makes more than me try to brief senior leadership"

We all have our talents. Some stuff is "table stakes" baseline stuff, but with the way MS has bungled their software these days I'll never judge anyone for not knowing how to do something "simple" because MS has made most tasks infuriatingly difficult.
