Hello all! I began working today, where the work is closely related to programming. Despite this, the work computer is set up as Windows (eww). I want to look for work-arounds, as installing linux on a work machine is a no-go.
I wonder, what is the way to minimize pain from having to use windows? Either that, or a way to maximize work done on linux-like stuffs. A linux server is given for us, and I think I can install WSL. Any recommendations on this setup?
Especially, I miss the virtual desktop feature, is there any way to use it? Is there a way I can run compositor through WSL? Also, should I install Pop! OS for the feature, or is it available on e.g. Ubuntu (default WSL)?
Sorry to ask a non-exclusively-linux question, but I think, hopefully, many linux people have experience to give me pointers what to do with a windows work environment.
EDIT: The Windows is Windows 10.
You know. I did all of those for my grandmother a few months back.
If you’re having problems with those things, that’s a you problem. Wasn’t difficult at all to set it up for her, including Uninstalling bloat.
Yes, for some I did Google a powershell solution. Literally, “how to uninstall X with powershell” and boom. Done.
I get it. It’s cool to hate on windows. I miss 7 too. But you just come across as technologically impaired.
