That's awesome.
All embedded stuff, so no reason you're a linux fan 😄
I quit my job over a year ago. It was a year in May. I'll probably have to start looking soon.
I just don't like proprietary bullshit
Most of the problems that I dealt with at work were proprietary bullshit
Yeah, it's annoying but sadly most embedded systems are proprietary.
It's the nature of the beast.
I'd spend half of my day on licsensing or related crap.
People don't collaborate as much with embedded - it's harder than say web apps
a lot had to do with Windows
Oh yeah, that's annoying. I worked in automotive IT so dealt with FANUC robotics and others... they're terrible with drivers and the like with Windows.
Extremely fickle.
It got so bad with Windows changing host IDs with Win 10 that our main brand released a Linux client.
Well at least that is amazing.
I think behind the secenes most people realize that Window's days are number and working on beimg more platform agnostic.
Yes, even Microsoft.
LoL
They've been open sourcing all their stuff.
No seriously.
They're moving away from Windows and more into Sharepoint, Exchange, Office, Azure, etc.
Yeah, Linux subsystem.
It's decent but still shit.
Windows isn't TERRIBLE... honestly. It can be made to work very well.
I think most game manufacturers are working on going Vulkan / Linux behind the scenes but it takes probably 3 or 4 years to switch gears like that
Luckily I think that they have been working on it for at least a year or two
Web app -> Nothing Windows; Embedded -> Nothing Windows but corporate email/wiki/random shit -> Amazing; Gaming -> Only platform haha
so I think in two years or so you'll see a lot more games run on Linux on release day or soon after
What type of games do you mostly play?
I used to play Eve online a lot. Lately I was doing more Ark Survival Evolved but took the summer off of gaming
When the weather is nice and the kids are out of school I prefer to do outside stuff
But I'm in Chicago and the kids are going back so I'll be looking for something soon
That's a solid plan. I follow the same. I'm kind of bored of games. I played 3 hours of battlefield 5 since it's free currently but it didn't keep my attention.
I was playing Rust for a bit
I can't play FPS games really
Oh Rust/Ark seem fun but they also seem really depressing because all that work is wiped every 2 weeks.
Or is that Rust only?
that's only rust
Yeah... Cyberpunk 2077 looks good for the story.
but in Ark if you don't log in for a week your shit starts despawning
and you have to feed your animals or they die
