Use windows.

• jacalata 13y ago
  Not a very general answer, many programmers use Windows. More generally applicable answer: hire programmers for a work environment on one OS. Announce one day that the company is switching to $newOS and all developer machines need to run $newOS as of next week. For bonus points, say that tools, etc, that are not available on the new platform will be worked out as they come up (and probably have no budget for replacing them).

      (I appreciate it, but you should probably just use the vote up mechanism instead of adding a '+1' comment)

        Grandparent is deleted, but maybe on-topic: Making a whole post to say "+1" on a website that has built-in upvoting functionality probably sends a few people over the edge.

  Meh. Virtualbox/VMware is a great detour around that now.

    Still doesn't feel the same as running Linux on bar metal and also not accepted in every company.
