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.
Hey man, you’re the one struggling to set up printers on windows, not me.
Maybe if you were half as good as you think you are it wouldn’t be a problem.
The Control Panel still exists. You can still access all the panels you had back in win7. And you keep talking about “Powershell incantations” as if it’s magic. Maybe study up on it if you find it so difficult.
Win10 or 11 are far from perfect, but what you’re describing really isn’t that difficult to solve if you know how. You seemingly don’t. That’s a you problem.
