Even on the remaining on-prem market, who's still using MySQL over MariaDB or Postgres? Who's using SPARC over X64? Who's using Virtualbox over HyperV, Libvirt or VMWare?

Usually I'll just go with "by date X we can give a reasonable estimate", which tends to work well enough with their mental model that they leave us alone until X.

That was a thing until VS2015, as far as I can tell; the older versions let you install all minor releases in parallel. And many Windows developers choose to rather install the specific minor version they used globally, instead of just vend

Games on Linux are still hit or miss in my experience. With very simple setups (keyboard, mouse, one GPU) it can work okay-ish, but something "exotic" like gamepads, or multi-GPU setups still cause way too many problems. Windows i

+1; it's sad that Bitwarden still has worse UX than the internal tool we hacked together in a month 8 years ago.

Paypal still makes it hard for you to automatically transfer out money, so you have to remember to do it manually every so often. And then they'll block you anyway because you tried to transfer out - too much - too often - too seldomly
