Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/@cdp1337" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cdp1337</a> personally, I've wasted 15 years of my life trying to make <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> useable and the main regret I have is not switching to <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> 100% 5 years earlier...<ul><li>I can't do Windows at all because no amount of "pain money" will compensate for the damage it'll take to my mental health.</li></ul>I'd rather not do <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IT</a> at all than suffer through Windows.<ul><li>And yes, shit's that slow and hard, I've seen companies buying ~ €200k (MSRP which obviously noone pays) in low-core count EPYC servers just to have <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MSSQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSSQL</a> be somewhat reasonably fast.</li></ul>Not to mention <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a>'s <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Licensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Licensing</a> is just absurd as they demand that businesses license their garbage not for the Cores/Threads they'll assign to the Software, but for every single core the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proxmox</a> or <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ESXi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESXi</a> cluster has, even if it's impossible for said Software to run on those at the same time because "<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WindowsServer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindowsServer</a>" doesn't even support multi-node clustering or fault-tolerance at all.<ul><li>I could at least reason this as a price to pay for it if it actually bought something to the table worth it...</li></ul>But it just doesn't!And yes, Windows <a href="https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/@cdp1337/112782342409591511" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">does require reboot orgies</a> to update...<ul><li>Why else do you think it's less pain and frustration to use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/nLite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nLite</a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/iPXE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iPXE</a> to build unattended install images and just reinstall all Windows <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Desktops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Desktops</a> everytime a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ServicePack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ServicePack</a> gets released? </li></ul>It's way faster that way.<ul><li>Also Microsoft's own tool for that, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/WAIK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WAIK</a>, really sucks ass and is a bigger resource hog than a "Full Installation" of <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VisualStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisualStudio</a> Enterprise Edition!</li></ul>Again: I'd rather <a href="https://os1337.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">spin my own distro from scratch</a> and daily drive it than ever touching Windows again!!!
