    Only if you absolutely need Win11 features. There’s very little at work that I actually need a Windows computer for, I’d do way better with a Linux desktop.

    Office 365 is fine for some people, but all I need is a plaintext editor, SSH capabilities, and a couple HTTPS communications utilities. LibreOffice would be fine for the few documents I need to share, most of the rest is a git wiki.

      Did you miss “in the office”?

      Most people don’t have a choice, their OS is decided upon and managed by their employer.

      Plus, there’s definitely benefits to using the most popular setup if you have to interact with the normal business side folks more. LibreOffice’s cross compatibilty with Microsoft formats can still be sketchy with some of the more complex features.

      I do all my work inside WSL anyway. I only use Windows at work because that’s what IT gave me. They also offer macbooks.
