It is corporate hardware for doing corporate things. If my productivity is going to be impacted somehow by corporate things or work quality will be somehow impacted - literally zero fucks, not my fucking problem.
I use corporate macbook, and have to use RDP with Windows machines for certain network segments, and have to use Linux on majority of servers through remote sessions. Literally not giving a shit about corporate device.
I would just blacklist that dumb fuck and make fun of him on linkedin.

>the salary premium is simply not worth the torture of using Windows on a daily basis
Holy fucking based.

Honestly, I respect this. Boomer managers think your time is worthless so they expect you to put with Windows just to save a few shekels.

Organizations are not saving money with Windows, the computers are already approaching Mac prices, and Windows + Office + MDM (typically Intune) prices are getting insane.

my last job offered me a macbook with no option for windows. i didn’t quit like a bitch though. just used the mac, even though it sucked ass to have to long press + click “close” to close a window, instead of just pressing the x button. whoever came up with that is a retard and mac users are retards for putting up with it.

>>108363292
No but every day I do use Winblows at work is agony.

I've walked out of interviews for similar reasons. Not as petty as that, but the same sentiment. If I get the impression your management or engineering department is at all funny / typical, I don't want to work with you and will say such honestly if they ask why I want to conclude.
You have to think you're going to be there every day for the majority of the day, with these people in this environment. It's kind of important to take it seriously.

>>108363292
lol absolutely based. he's not even wrong windows is miserable. when I switched teams I went from a SEXY ass linux booting corporate macbook to a dell piece of shit that is locked down at the bios level. The most fucked part was it wasn't even a IIS / C# website. It's fucking LEGACY PHP. The worst part is they spy on you just fucking constantly with all their garbage croud strike security bullshit. Even my 32gb of RAM machine ran like shit because it was mandated that we use Visual Studio. Not visual studio code. ACTUAL VISUAL STUDIO. And they locked down the computers so we couldn't install anything else without permission. Think about how idiotic that is for a second. I have full fucking VISUAL STUDIO we can build and run whatever fucking binaries we want if we got the source code. Sigh.

>>108363292
I literally refused to hire a few really good candidates, because they explicitly asked for Windows on their machines.

>>108363700
Because you don't really "need" to quit an app manually, it's more efficient to let the OS handle it and it will close it if it needs more RAM.
It's a different philosophy. Here the process and the window are two different things. When you close the window, the process still runs in the background, so it's faster when you relaunch it later, or if it needs to perform background tasks.
But if you really want to quit an app anyway it's faster with the CMD+Q shortcut.

>>108363745
>If they were saving sheckles they would go with Ubuntu or something.
But then you'd need to pay people to fix the machines when they break or something doesn't work.
In the end, it will cost more even if the OS is "free"
See >>108363648 It's cheaper to have something that just works.

The IT janny does a decent job of cleaning up much of the slop and vetting updates for qc, but windows 11 is still pretty laggy even on nicer machines. I still use troonix on my personal machines and my boss is thinking about doing the same with cachy.

It's becoming more and more and more like this. Like I was never the guy to really whine about corporate work. I know it's a nice gig to sit in front of a computer, do 2-3 hours of real work a day, sit in some meetings, go home, clock in your 40 a week and enjoy a steady paycheck. No problem.

But every week, every month, every year. They just load the bloat and garbage into your machine. They load bloat into your schedule. Everything you do has tasks, and meetings, and ceremonies, and procedures, and you have to document everything. Your machine, loaded with their bloat, crashes and lags routinely. It all compounds and turns the time cost to do x thing into something 3x longer. And they don't care. Bring it up and you'll get blank stares. "Just work longer" sitting in the back of their mind even though they can't admit that transparently. But they will pressure you to and get your coworkers to buckle and start putting in those 50, 60 hour weeks to keep the same productivity with the extra bloat and cruft.

I can't fucking do it. I actually like getting things done, and I love efficiency, and modern corporate culture is doing as much as possible to prohibit that and instead chain you to your desk for longer.

>>108364067

>>108364065
defense contractor. you get your 'business' computer which has all the normal garbage, and then you get your dev computer which is free reign, do whatever you want with it to do your job. dev computers aren't allowed on the same network, but we have share drives where you can dump shit to copy between them. Only rule is you're not allowed to bring your dev machine across a border so for integration you get a bitlocker'd 'engineering' computer that you'll have to run vmware on or you can just bring your business computer and remote into your dev machine (though not having physical ports makes that impractical for most tasks)

>>108364093
I don't even think "superior hardware" explains this shit. I can't fathom in any universe where they basically install 10,000 hooks on every single dll call was ever fast.

Security really is just a special caste in tech. I feel like bosses never challenge whatever they want or say and we have to suffer whatever because they scare them into doing it. They may not even realize how much it impedes productivity.

My last role was insane. You had to get explicit permission every time you wanted to touch any db, even the DEV DB. Fake garbage data, you had to get a temporary clearance through their portal, which took a while. Agonizing shit

No, there is some software that simply isn't available on Mac or Linux and Windows is common in enterprise for that very reason. If that's the reason, he's just being a stupid autist.
However if they're asking him to develop on Windows for no tangible reason other than their IT having a hard on for micromanaging everyone's system for no reason that's a fair complaint. Most competent IT guys when they see someone who isn't a normie that will hurt themselves using a computer, they'll basically give you a free reign to do whatever the fuck because often your relationship will be mutually beneficial.

I guess, audits are quite frequent and our lab / network / development setup all has to meet various standards to qualify for various contracts

>I'm guessing you just load your garbage into some form and some loser runs your shit code through the generic vulnerability and CVE scanners?
no, it's a high trust environment. the only code scanners are for things like actual errors, out of bound accesses, etc. all changes are paper trailed though so anything yo 'slip in' will come bac to you

at the end of the day anyone who wants to steal documents, source code or insert vulnerabilities into equipment can do so relatively easily. it's just not something that happens because of the barrier to entry and potential consequences. Also 99% of it is useless outside of the actual use case it was made for and on the topic of intentional vulnerabilities, none of the products are networked or contain persistent memory/clock (for a time delay fuse), you can't exploit these things unless you have physical access which might as well mean you can't exploit them

I use MacOS at work and while there are certain quirks I don't care for it's not anywhere near as a offensive as dealing with modern windows. The interface is relatively quiet and isn't constantly trying to shill you something (the bar is in hell, I know).

Linux was ALWAYS awful. The moment the Finnish autist decided he was gonna use the API of an OS that started development twenty years ago, for a machine that used motherfucking tape for mass storage, you just knew the thing was gonna be cooked eventually.

And they know, too. There's no reason for the security clusterfuck that is io_uring to be in the kernel if it wasn't for the fact that their interfaces (which are intricately tied to their implementation) are fucked beyond repair. In fact, anyone with a double-digit IQ and strace can see that.

How is that different from Windows or any other OS? You need IT departments.

Windows 11 is mandatory because EOS. It's not just because they want to torture workers, but because most companies need some sort of cybersecurity insurance. Of course you could say "Linux is safe", but then these insurers are just greasy pitchmen who based their pricing on what PC World tells them. They dont want to insure Linux without a premium.

>>108365351
>don't mind 10 but despise 11
Which is the biggest telltale sign that the Win11 hate is astroturfed to hell and back. 90% of 11's issues existed on 10.

>Windows Update renders the machine unbootable
Windows 10 had such updates.
>you can't make a local account anymore
While yes, Windows 11 Home doesn't let you do that, any other edition can, but it's hidden away in the OOBE. Try installing 22H2 and you'll find that they've buried that option in the same way as well.
>spying
Everyone despised Win10 in 2015 over telemetry, and such elements have been present in Windows since before that, including the beloved Win7.
>forced updates
Win10 had that as well, Win11 is just Win10 with a fresh coat of paint.
>bloat getting installed with updates
Win10 had that, and Win7 had that at the end of it's life.

The only valid complaints you can have about 11 are:
>TPM 2 requirements throwing plenty of older CPU's out of the question
>unnecessary online connection for downloading updates during OOBE instead of post-installation (rarely do people install Windows/Linux without an online connection so stfu)
>the new UI being half-baked like the taskbar not having the feature parity of even the Win95 taskbar
So really, a few extra hoops to jump through compared to 10, not the disastrous deal breaker people make it out to be where they put 10 on a pedestal.
>b-but the broken system stability

On older hardware (AHCI with a single submission queue) more of an interface fuckup, stemming from the fact that OG UNIX didn't allow the submission of multiple file names for opening either. It's been a lot more egregious since we all got hardware with multiple submission queues (NVMes).

If you had experienced it in the last 8 years you would know that MS enterprise support has become a bad joke, not just for windows but for azure. You have better luck with dell or hp enterpise support than msft even if you are tier 1. It used to mean you got pretty good support, now you just get jeet level ticket hell being passed around even on something simple like an AD syncing with Azure issue. MSFT really is NOT what it was, their developer support used be incredible years ago now it is non existent. The enterprise support is microsoft community forums tier useless now.

Tanenbaum is a miserable autist who was ignoring the trends that hardware manufacturers had already been setting in 1989 (SCSI-2, TCQ) - as were so many spectators of the Tanenbaum/Torvalds debate, as none of them asked Torvalds why the hell he thought using the piecemeal UNIX API (that had begun development for a completely different machine with completely different hardware more than twenty years prior) was a good pick for a supposed monolith.

Which is even funnier/tragic because state-of-the-art game development in the 80s and 90s was very careful and peculiar about its mode switching. Protected mode provided memory, but real more provided hardware access, and so they properly batched their work.

>as none of them asked Torvalds why the hell he thought using the piecemeal UNIX API (that had begun development for a completely different machine with completely different hardware more than twenty years prior) was a good pick for a supposed monolith.
He did so probably because he was in his early 20's (know nothing who thinks he knows everything). He'd probably do it different if he got to start over today.
>as were so many spectators of the Tanenbaum/Torvalds debate

It isn't for the DOS era. Game developers weren't about to write their own fucking drivers for the display adapter, hard disk and floppy because the DOS and VGA(later VESA) couldn't work under protected mode. So any important IO required dropping back to DOS mode, do what you needed to do and move back into protected mode. Also its one of the reasons the Windows 9x sucked balls since it was heavily reliant on the BIOS to do shit if it didn't have a proper 32-bit driver.

It's also why there were loads of people trying to install Windows 7 from a USB 3.0 port, only to realize that, since the system didn't have 3.0 drivers, that it would be unable to see the device *they just loaded the kernel and the base system from* - up until that point the machine was still in real mode, being able to use the BIOS.

stop being afraid of getting fired. they don't want to fire you as long as you are personable about it.

I'm glad I finally have so many autists of this kind in one thread. I am one of the IT fuckers who forces Windows in companies. Let me explain it to you spergs, why this is done. First, most obvious argument is security and compliance. We have two choices whenever an audit comes in:
>"yes Mr. Auditfag, all our devices are deployed with a certain security baseline already in the OS image, secured by GPOs/Intune policies, centrally managed Defender, encrypted with Bitlocker, forensics can be done with Velociraptor/Wazuh/whatever, etc..."
or
>"Sorry Mr. Auditfag, we have multiple autistic sperglords in here who use riced Arch (btw). How do we secure and audit their devices to protect ours and our clients data? Well, we don't, we just trust them, haha!"
Company's interest in running a business is more important than your autistic faggotry, simple as.
And the other argument, often claimed by sperglords
>"muh workflow, and softwares, etc!"
Shut the fuck up, you can use the same IDE, Spotify, browser, PuTTy and keepass on all three major OS's. If your argument boils down to some shortcuts/hotkeys you are truly an autistic clown.
As for the "IT laziness" - AD/AAD ecosystem is perfect for managing business IT environment and has exactly ZERO alternatives in Loonix or Mac world. And no I am not setting up some clownish clusterfuck of scripts and abandonwares to partially mirror the functionality of AD, to meet the compliance requirements, just so a fat neckbeard can rice his Fedora in my IT env. Too bad, fag, either use the Winblows or get fucked.

I mean if you don't trust your employees to not leak clients data in the first place them using locked down winblows or gaybian x+ doesn't change anything. You're just a lazy fuck who wants to be able to check the marks on Mr. Shekelberg's arbitrary requirement list and never go off the beaten path. It's not even your responsability to worry about the employee's ability to access your AD with his loonix, tell them they're on their own if they don't use windows and done.

Im not aware of any major tech company that supplies their engineers with windows, except microsoft itself, and they still offer linux and macos on request.

>>108372778

That's CIS level 1 right there

Not as stupid as you thankfully.

Wow that has nothing to do with the three topics I mentioned
>gatekeeper on
See above comment, did you ask AI to write this for you? Most of the bad stuff that runs is stolen developer keys gatekeeper won't stop anyway.

Ok, now we are getting to actual useful stuff, what EDR do you use? Have you validated the logs it generates? Does it have everything you need to perform an investi-
>CIS level 1
Ah sorry forgot I'm dealing with a retarded mac user, I don't give a fuck about industry compliance like some of the other posters ITT, I'm talking about actual security operations anon.
>platform sso with Secure Enclave
Now this is actually good shit, and something I wish more places adopted but for the same reason another anon replied to me >users hate all of this, you simply don't see the adaptation, and the effort involved for companies to do this (especially primarily windows shop companies) means it's a slow adoption process.
Anyway I'm not saying it's impossible but people who just link garbage like

Then why don't you hire employees who don't download viruses and stop bloating their computers up with spyware?
>t. Works for one of the companies listed on that link
Oh, so you have a vested interest in security theater, not actual security.
Opinion rejected.

>>108373313
Because I don't get to chose which people get hired or fired?
>security theater
But according to that link, apple makes it so easy, is that link worthless theater or something people should follow?
Either way it's irrelevant, I'm not going to change anyone's mind, and nobody is going to get me to love Macs, all we can do is shit post online for the lulz

>>108373356

worthless theater obviously, just like everything else in this stupid industry.
BTW, I'm not the person who posted that link.

Ah apologies, then I direct you to my comment of >Clearly have no idea what's going on to get these things implemented
Way to lazy to type more but if it was unclear I agree these sorts of compliance frameworks are worthless.

literally something similar happened to me a couple weeks ago, although thy are the ones who bailed out

lol, but my guess they have malware installed in these laptops to monitor the employees since it's remote, and that malware isn't available on linux/macos, they researched for a week and when they couldn't find a workaround they bailed

their built in endpoint security api sending data to splunk, functionally identical to auditd sending data to splunk on our linux hosts

imagine getting this upset people are discussing things on a forum

Do winadmins really thing MDM is not a solved problem for mac and linux?
Google has 180,000 employees. Do you think those macs and linux machines are just completely unaudited and managed?
They have 2.5 million servers. Do you think they have no endpoint monitoring on those?
Your little 50 employee windows server 2019 AD setup is a toy. That GUI you love is actually a liability at scale.

My work recently banned Linux on developer laptops due to some new government regulation. Everyone had to move to either Mac or Windows. Also VMs were banned on developer machines due to the same regulations. I wound up moving to Windows because it turns out you can run a full Linux desktop under WSL. You just run Xephyr under WSLg and then run your whole desktop under Xephyr. I spent a few days writing some little helper tools to keep Xephyr fullscreen, handle plugging/unplugging monitors, and pass modifier keys to Xephyr without letting WSLg mangle them. It's a little buggy around suspend/resume but otherwise basically works. I was able to keep all my xmonad keybinds, custom keyboard layout, and other configs that I've been using for 10+ years.

(Yes I know WSL actually runs stuff inside a VM. IT also knows this, and they have some story for why WSL/Docker don't count as VMs under this particular regulation, which they think will fly with the auditor.)

Google can afford to build and run their own custom shit. My company (~100 people) was looking for something off-the-shelf, and it turns out the commercially available endpoint security tools only nominally support Linux. Like, you can install it on Linux and it will do some stuff, but it's missing a bunch of features that the auditor will expect to see.

nonsense.
workplace one.
Can manage all major OS and phones. Can handle your audit trail ingestion for all of them, and your patch management and remote user management.
Commercially available.

Really all these commercially available tools do things the same way, theyre not re-inventing the wheel. Microsoft has defined the methods in which a system can be remotely managed, apple has, and linux has. Apple and linux are largely similar at a functional level. Any commercial tool just handles these apis. You wouldnt need to build a 100% custom solution for apple if you were to try and make a MDM application for them, youd just follow their documentation. Which is why theres hundreds of SAAS solutions for this.

I spoke to the HR person at my company and they will skip and decline interview regularly based on our internal tools (particularly using Teams over Slack)

Wouldn't that be nice? I'd love an unmanaged laptop for my dev work, instead of having to regularly beg IT to let me run the damn compiler.
