My workplace is the same. Windows or Mac. I was on mac, but enterprise support for mac is awful and was limited to 16GB ram. I moved to Windows and installed Hyper-V so that I could have Linux VM's and have 64GB ram. That is where I do all my work. Hyper-V still needs a lot of refinement, but it works.
- JohnFen 7y agoI'm a little lucky here. My job requires me to develop for a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, various other Unices, and a few mainframe OSes. So I do have a couple of Linux machines at my fingertips. But I have to use Win 10 for a lot of company things, because that's what they've decided to require.
- gotoeleven 7y agoHow do you keep windows from rebooting when it feels like it to install 'critical' updates? Id like to use windows as a linux VM host but every couple weeks my linux server is taken down because automatic reboots can't be disabled. Microsoft seems to actively prevent every workaround people find to disable this rebooting, no matter how difficult and arcane.
