I've got a colleague that refuses to use Windows

Hi all, I'm not sure it is the right subreddit.

I work in a company that mainly makes software but we also do some mechanical stuff (I think they use AutoCad). We have some very qualified engineers for that part of the work. We also use some other programs that the Company has paid a lot of money (I can't remember which ones). Unfortunately non of those can work on Linux.

The rest of the work (software development) is done on Linux but our engineers and managers switch on Windows when they want to use those expensive programs. For example, to change things, etc. Now, we have this guy who refuses to use those programs that the company has bought because he hates Windows. Instead, he finds alternatives that work on Linux and sometimes are not compatible in terms of the exported-final files which means the company ends up with bunch of different files that are not compatible between them.

And the rest of the team does not have so much expertise as they do on the other expensive programs. We are talking about licenses here and programs that are on the top lists on well-paid positions in big companies. The company didn't mind to pay at all back then when they started business and they will pay again to continue using those programs. It's all about quality and of course, support. And of course the cooperation between other companies that uses the same programs. It's a standard in the market I guess. And why he does that? Because nobody says anything. Lack of management I think?

I came here to ask, how normal is that behaviour? People who use Linux daily, have you done something similar?

What do the developers add to the Linux kernel?

Hello everyone !

I have been using Linux for like a year and a half, and I am definitely never ever switching back to windows unless there is a gun to my head (even then I will think about it :P ) .

Anyway , all jokes aside I don't have all the required knowledge yet, to know the answer to the question :

"What do they improve on the kernel? "

The kernel is still being developed and will be for many years to come for sure.. But in my mind , you develop something up until you get a stable release and eliminate bugs.

So what are they improving? Are they fixing bugs? Ofc bugs could come up and they need to be dealt with , but are they so many in terms of numbers that the kernel keeps going?

Is it ever going to stop being developed?

Cheers :)

OSFirstTimer YouTube Channel

Want to kill some time and have a good laugh? Go to this guy's YouTube channel and watch the Destroy videos. His Mum has a set amount of time and some rules in a few of them where she has to destroy an OS by making it not bootable. He uses a VM for these videos so nothing too important of HIS get's destroyed.

Very entertaining and if you're in quarantine and haven't seen these yet, give this a look-see.

Choosing a 32-bit RPM-based distro

I have a couple of aging netbooks that are running old Fedora versions (I like bleeding edge and prefer RPM).

I wanted to upgrade to a newer version, but Fedora no longer supports 32-bit. I couldn’t find a 32-bit CentOS 8 and ran into some problems booting with CentOS 7 (LiveUSB).

I guess I could try to troubleshoot my issue with CentOS7, but it’s also a good opportunity to try a different distro.

Any suggestions?

how to grow, track into OS creation . . . what to work on, what to focus on . . .

generally interested in OS development . . . relatively inexperienced . . .

what can I read in a C textbook to accelerate my ability to harness the language & apply it to operating systems . . .

also, where to even begin beyond textbooks ? I am reading the Minix book for reference . . . and I figure that's a start, but still, I feel like I may be missing something?

what would you suggest to work on as a personal project? to get to the point where I can tackle something epic like a kernel?

...again, relatively inexperienced
