I’m just tired. On the last post about having Linux at our work, many people that seems to be an IT worker said there have been several issues with Linux that was not easy to manipulate or control like they do with Windows, but I think they just are lazy to find out ways to provide this support. Because Google forces all their workers to use Linux, and they have pretty much control on their OS as any other Windows system.

Linux is a valid system that can be used for work, just as many other companies do.

So my point is, the excuse of “Linux is not ready for workplaces” could be just a lack of knowledge of the IT team and/or a lack of intention to provide to developers the right tools to work.

    I’ve had end users complain because the icon for the link to our intranet on their desktop changed. They freaked the fuck out.

    Folks. It’s the same shitty IIS server. Just a different icon.

      When Microsoft changed Office to the ribbon menu system I had to design and run a whole training program with multiple trainers to travel the country to teach people in our company how to use it. All of the helper tools and documentation were not enough.

      People absolutely freak out at change when it comes to computers especially.
