I hate Windows. I hate Microslop. I've hated them forever. Not using Windows helps, but I still have to deal with the consequences of everyone else using it!
What I hate most is people absolutely terrified of a *nix terminal, while willing to work around Windows problems via command prompt or messing with the goddamn fucking registry, which is just bloody ridiculous, why not just use fucking config files... but that's a rant for another time - and people looking at this kind of chatbot interface like cutting edge modern technology when it's actually just a CLI that doesn't fucking work. We had these at the dawn of personal computing, except that those ones worked and gave the same response to the same command every time! Look, I don't like using a terminal either, but at least be honest and consistent about it, people.
Business nerds love Microsoft. I just had a contractor work with me, IT, he hated Linux and loved windows. He has some sort of VM running Ubuntu inside Windows for his Plex server instead of just running baremetal debian like a sane home admin.
That is the exact face I made. Dedicated machine, VM on windows running Ubuntu. Like why.
You should meet my dad. He'd probably do similar things in a similar context... there is a reason I try not to discuss anything computer related with him and I pretend to be a stereotypical idiot end user who has no clue what an OS is or how a computer works on any level. I pretend to think technology is magic and he's a wizard.
Our sys admin would do the same thing before he saw the light and became Proxmox-pilled
tbf there are a lot benefits to using a hypervisor, like easy backups. Even janky setup like a VM running inside of Windows is better than nothing
Yeah but hes doing it so he can manage the files in file explorer :| its a media server so generally too big to back up if you just want to fill the drive and dont care. Which tbh is what I do on my jellyfin.
He could do that easier by making the linux server present its media library as a samba share
This comment chain reads like you guys are making things up and trying to make us windows users feel like we're losing our minds
"I've sambaed my Debian so I can put files on my jellyfin"
I use Linux, and talking to terminal junkies and real nerds makes me feel like I'm losing my mind, too. Or, rarely, like I'm the only sane person in the room. But mostly I just feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Someone could, but not him lol
Interesting dude
Powerful "knows enough to fuck things up even harder than someone who doesn't know anything" energy
"Let me access my windows computer so I can access my VM so I can access my docker containers" is the worst kind of inception.
