This might push me over the edge to trying home linux. I use RHEL at work all the time. I just want to still be able to use Steam and Runescape.

0·8 months agoThe vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can’t run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can’t be justified “just to be on unix”.
For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.

0·8 months agoAt work us devs and IT folks use both windows and RHEL Linux. I’d say I use windows for business apps and Linux for everything development related except for terminal apps and visual studio. My database work is pretty much 100% linux. Everyone else in the company is likely using windows.

0·8 months agoProbably the best response here. I’d also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can’t imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with “chmod”. It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don’t change their own spark plugs or oil.
