      This looks like a public office space. You really gonna go argue with the building admin?

        “Hey boss, the display in the corner office automatically updated. Can we get IT to switch everything to Linux?”

          “why would we do that? Our systems don’t work on that, our people aren’t trained on that, no, get back to work”

          I think that would be a pretty accurate reply to a casual request for an entire infrastructure change

            our systems

            Guaranteed all of your backend systems are running Linux. If not, holy hell why.

            our people aren’t trained on that

            Oh no, pointy-clicky on things on a desktop is so hard to train for people who have used an OS where you… um… pointy-clicky on things on a desktop. Whatever shall we do.

            Excuses. All I hear from people who want to keep obsolete, trash, laughable, insecure Windows.

              Complain all you want, not a single manager out there is going to shut down any part of the active systems in place and potentially lose business to upgrade to Linux. At that point, just bring your own laptop instead of moaning about it.

              And I used to think the “just switch to linux” guys were a meme, bro you’re making me want to switch back to windows out of spite

            “there is a bomb strapped to my chest, if you don’t install Linux on every computer in here I will explode taking you with me”

            I wouldn’t recommend this method but It might work out

      linux can have some pretty weird quirks though. (don’t get me wrong I’ve been dailydriving linux for several years and I’m not going to use windows unless I’m forced)

      one time I was about to do presentation, I has multiple files and windows in order to present the whole program we had developed, some powerpoint, demo, and the source code.

      then came my time to do the presentation and I plugged in the hdmi cable and my fucking account just logged out. dunno if the session crashed or something, but I had to quickly scramble everything back since all my apps were closed lol.

      I do have older quadro nvidia though

        Important question: is mesa? If not, then fuck Nvidia. If yes, then fuck Nvidia regardless, but karlherbst and other nouveau devs would like to get crashlogs if there was crash.

        Was it reproduced later? What enviroment?
