    Yea for personal professionals it’s fine, but my career is in IT, so staying flexible is important for multiple fronts lol I’m just as comfortable in a Linux heavy position as I am in a Windows or MacOS and being able to do all 3 makes mixed environments a hell of a lot easier.

    Remote management is so much nicer with Linux. I still deal with some of that crap on Windows, and the Windows admins go on about how they need Windows to be able to remotely manage. I bite my tongue, but I feel embarrassed for them every time they do so. Remote management is about 20 years more mature on Linux than on Windows.

    For terminal stuffs, for Remote Desktop, all the Linux solutions are…not that great, they work. Microsoft’s RDP otoh is fantastic, high quality, low latency and easy to pass through USB devices, Webcams, mics etc. right out of the box

    Not sure what your Windows guys mean by needing Windows to remotely manage Windows, there’s plenty of cross platform RDP clients. The only time I’ve needed Windows to manage Windows is for very enterprisey Windows-specific things, like Active Directory or group policies
