My entire adult life and career has been MS free. It’s not that rare.
- argiopetech 3y agoIt's not that rare for developers and sys admins. It's pretty rare outside of that, particularly if you're on a corporate-managed system. Wander down to HR or finance or legal and see how many *nix systems you see.
- lokar 3y agoI think ours have macs
- daxelrod 3y agoMS is still probably somewhere in the supply chain of software you use. They have contributed to the Linux Kernel, they own GitHub and NPM, they make an extremely popular editor, among other things. It’s a different set of risks than depending on them directly, but they’re still there.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoContributing to something and owning it are wildly different levels of control. The rest of it is reasonable, but Linux doesn't belong in your list.
- daxelrod 3y agoFair point.
- Spivak 3y agoYour whole office? Like sure whatever, I don't use Windows but that doesn't count. The IT directory server is Azure AD and is the SSO for everything non-dev related Slack/JIRA/the office VPN.
- lokar 3y agoI did work at google for 15 years and sun before that
- rakoo 3y agoI wanted to believe the same, until I thought about the Tax Office and, basically, the entirety of my government, who happen to not be USA but is definitely a Microsoft place.
