     @waff less gay than going to 40 different fucking websites and grabbing 40 different msi files and stepping through 40 different wizards

     it's no `apt` but for a machine that *must* run Windows, I'll take it over nothing at all

     @waff @r000t The kernel, Linux offers no package manager.
     
     It's the things windows has to do to even attempt to offer the basic functionality of GNU.

     @tatsumoto There are things for which I need Real Actual Windows, baremetal. The alternative is to go without pay.

     I do run Linux on my primary machine and one of my laptops. I've been running Linux of some form since 2010, and Gentoo since 2017. Spare me the marketing pitch.

     Windows is proprietary malware.
     
     https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/

     If you want to reclaim your freedom and free your computer from malware, install the GNU operating system instead.

     @tatsumoto I'm a contractor. A common requirement in tickets I take is "Laptop running AnyDesk and PuTTY" and that's so I can basically be a KVM for some dude 4 states away.

     If such a thing is required, and I don't have it, I don't get paid, and that client probably blacklists me.

     And no, I'm not really in a position to be picky about clients for stupid silly shit like this.

     @r000t if your job requires running nonfree software, you probably need to talk to your boss. Or try https://www.linuxcareers.com/

     @tatsumoto Though I should hit up the one who used to be my full-time boss and ask him how quickly I'd have been out on my ass if I was a 1000% *nix die-hard steadfastly refusing to touch anything with an NT kernel

     @wowaname
     Kernel mode anticheat. That has an entirely separate desktop box that only runs League. Doesn't even run Discord. The box is small enough to ship to Riot's anticheat team Priority Overnight if their shit throws a false positive. I'd like to put it on its own VLAN.

     But this laptop is a separate thing. It's for any programs that only run on Windows and to make sure programs I write run on Windows. I generally split development between the two environments to catch both code and UX quirks.
