Like open source software for windows or what

@Beemann

I'm gonna go play hoi4

do it

Basically yeah

There's always been oss for windows

There's now plugins for PS that let you use Linux style installations

Just use gimp

For a variety of FOSS and some non FOSS programs

I love foss software

it helps me loads when working and writing software of my own

So you could be extra lazy, and have a script that installs to powershell, and then a script that sets up your software, rather than manually install from a browser or keep a list of URLs

Or just use apt

Tbh if it wasn't for DX I'd be on Linux already

if you're on a debian based system

Right but this is for Windows

True

Except the installers, accepting agreements, etc

can't usually do that automatically

Iirc I didn't have to handle shit when using chocolatey

But I haven't used it in a while because it's more novelty than utility rn

it might be useful for businesses

or people who reinstall windows a lot

Eh, most enterprise level stuff would just use desired state configuration or imaging or something

True

I don't see why businesses still use windows anymore, other than legacy software support

Windows is honestly bad for businesses, due to its bad security

Easy to use, most enterprise software works with it, industry standard, your employees know how it works

Everyone at my work is excited about the upcoming switch from OSX to Windows

Microsoft also has decent office applications and will host your shit if you don't have the server capacity

>switch to OSX
Why even bother?

From OSX

Because OSX supports nothing

Oh sorry

Np

Yeah read that backwards

Also, using msoffice 360 is a bad idea for business info in my opinion

Yeah Windows 7 or 10 is a huge functionality upgrade over OSX lol. I've had to use both for work

since then you trust important stuff to ms

Everyone hates it at the office

Most smaller companies have worse security tbh
