Apple Vision Pro upgraded with M5 chip

Every company I've worked at in the last 15-20 years has run fully on Mac. First it was the designers, then the devs, and now everyone. I used Windows for years and have some experience with various Linux distros, but if I joined a company that made me use either of those full-time I'd immediately start looking for another job.

Yep I've just joined, via aquisition, a company that runs remote Windows desktops you have to access using whatever Remote Desktop is now called.

I've not seen a professional desktop operating system show you adverts and click bait during worktime before and I am not impressed.

I'm taking it as an alarm bell that I should get out as soon as I can. For me and what I do, macOS or Linux are my platforms of choice.

Fortunately you can use Remote Desktop using the Microsoft Windows app for Mac.

FWIW, macOS also has adverts that can’t be disabled.

That is a really really strange thing to care so much about

"Is this company going to waste my time?" is not a strange question.

First you are getting the paid so again it is a very odd thing to care about and second how does windows and Linux waste your time?

Even billionaires get burnout.

> how does windows and Linux waste your time?

Windows is deep down the enshittification curve.

My Linux-using coworkers seem to spend a lot of time wiping things and switching distros. I'm very happy with it for servers, but not for desktop.

You don't see how Microsoft Windows wastes your time?

- 15 minute boot-up times

- Complete lack of power management ( close your laptop screen )

- Random forced updates

I have to spend 8+ hours a day using the tool. Why put myself through constant unnecessary frustration if I don't have to?
