This has happened to me too and I feel the same as the author about it. The real frustration is that I do a lot of consulting work for corporates and so Windows is a requirement. Plus of course that *nix doesn't have Office and that anything from Google behaves orders of magnitude worse than Microsoft's OS, and that I depend on Visual Sudio. I can't seem to find an ideal.
- cehrlich 6y agoIt's far from ideal, but my solution is a Mac (obviously MacOS has its own problems, but they're problems that don't bother me as much personally, and it could of course also be replaced by Linux, some sort of *nix, etc) with a Windows VM. The VM has the bare minimum amount of software I need, access to a few folders from the host OS, other than that it's stripped to the bare minimum. It doesn't "fix" Windows, but the issues are much less annoying when Windows is just a launcher for the handful of things that I need it for.
- Spearchucker 6y agoYou remind me that this exact setup was proposed to me before, and as a solution it's possiblely the most appealing of all. Except for cost, and as an unnecessary but fun distraction, gaming.
