as my server, and now my phone too.

as for work, i managed to convince vp pointy hair that i need linux as my
desktop, but i still run windows in a vm for office.

The false assumption I keep seeing being made, though, is that techies wind

That is *NOT* the case. I have used Linux as my primary desktop now for
almost a decade.  Most often, I am required by $WORK to carry a windows
desktop.  That means they *force *me to do so.

Unless you have some specific app that is only available in Win-land, there
is no reason to use Windows on the desktop any more, except when brain-dead
$WORK demands it.

Brain-dead pointy-haired bosses have rejected Linux on the desktop.  Get
over it.
