1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    For me it's...

    • Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn't come close)
    • SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
    • Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
    • Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn't fly.
    • More responsive RDP. Unfortunately for server management I'm juggling 3-4 RDP instances daily and I'm not typically allowed to install AnyDesk or VNC or anything. I've tried a couple RDP alternatives and there were just all sorts of problems from keyboard issues to rendering issues to general sluggishness.
    • There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn't available on Linux.

    But! All the above said, I run Linux and have a Windows VM. And I also run Windows and have a Linux VM - so it's almost there for me. If work & clients all ditched Microsoft's ecosystem, it'd be a lot easier for me to but, unfortunately, they pay my bills.

    Probably never gonna happen because Microsoft has an active interest in making it not happen

    There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn't available on Linux.

    Knowing the VPN I'm forced to use I'll just make a blind guess that the VPN you're forced to use doesn't support IPv6 either, because actually providing a product instead of an overpriced relic apparently is really difficult for Enterprise VPN Companies.
