    Whenever someone tells me about the problem they’re having on Windows (which I haven’t used on my computer in years) or any Apple OS I explain how I would fix it Linux if I don’t happen to know how on their OS. If the Linux way is easier I also usually give it as a comparison.

    I only really do this with people who I know could easily get Linux working and people already interested in Linux.






  • For that kind of thing I use jitsi, works great and I have access to a sort of private instance that I use occasionally. Works for just voice too but it can be a little unreliable (the last two times I had a weird issue where the others suddenly couldn’t hear me and vice versa but reloading fixed it) so something else might be better for that…




  • What makes Linux terrible in your eyes?

    Professional programmers use Linux too.

    Windows is extremely unstable compared to my Linux experience. (Unless it no longer bsods regularly) I have had two kernel panics on my Linux installation total. (For comparison the Windows laptop I used to own crashed multiple times a month)

    Also I was thinking more of individuals doing work rather than in a large environment, so that might make a difference though the little management software I’ve seen for Windows was pretty disappointing.
