it might be useful for businesses

2018-08-11 17:15:14 UTC  

or people who reinstall windows a lot

2018-08-11 17:18:21 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:18:30 UTC  

True

2018-08-11 17:18:48 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:19:08 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:21:14 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:21:35 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:21:41 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:21:50 UTC  

>switch to OSX
Why even bother?

2018-08-11 17:21:58 UTC  

From OSX

2018-08-11 17:21:59 UTC  

Because OSX supports nothing

2018-08-11 17:22:02 UTC  

Oh sorry

2018-08-11 17:22:07 UTC  

Np

2018-08-11 17:22:09 UTC  

Yeah read that backwards

2018-08-11 17:22:25 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:22:30 UTC  

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

2018-08-11 17:22:34 UTC  

since then you trust important stuff to ms

2018-08-11 17:22:51 UTC  

Everyone hates it at the office

2018-08-11 17:22:52 UTC  

Most smaller companies have worse security tbh

2018-08-11 17:23:07 UTC  

Man just like, browsing to a folder is a chore

2018-08-11 17:23:10 UTC  

Why would we need security?

2018-08-11 17:23:22 UTC  

That's why they should start out with something like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora

2018-08-11 17:23:32 UTC  

Then they can get used to it

2018-08-11 17:23:35 UTC  

and do stuff better

2018-08-11 17:23:38 UTC  

Idk what other companies do, but all we do is stay on like 2 sites

2018-08-11 17:24:07 UTC  

Mostly where enterprise Linux comes in is like OpenSUSE and RHEL

2018-08-11 17:24:13 UTC  

Yeah

2018-08-11 17:24:17 UTC  

For devops and shit

2018-08-11 17:24:19 UTC  

RedHat and Fedora are used a lot too

2018-08-11 17:24:45 UTC  

RHEL= Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I've not seen Fedora used yet but I wouldn't necessarily doubt it

2018-08-11 17:25:13 UTC  

It just makes less sense for a large business given that it's less stable and doesn't come with support

2018-08-11 17:25:35 UTC  

I've got a CentOS machine at home that I tinker with

2018-08-11 17:25:41 UTC  

And my laptop runs Antergos

2018-08-11 17:25:43 UTC  

> less stable
I wouldn't stand by that statement

2018-08-11 17:25:59 UTC  

And linux support companies exist for a reason

2018-08-11 17:27:28 UTC  

Yes, that's why Red Hat exists separately from Fedora and CentOS

2018-08-11 17:29:59 UTC  

And Fedora is meant to be cutting edge, so it's going to have stability problems. That doesn't make it bad though. I use Antergos for similar reasons

2018-08-11 17:30:28 UTC  

It just means it has a different purpose than RHEL or CentOS, which is why all 3 exist

2018-08-11 17:30:42 UTC  

I just use Ubuntu because I don't really give a damn about special stuffs
