minus-squareAndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up131arrow-down2·12 days agoWindows isn’t ready for daily driving imo, it’s risky to use such an unstable OS for high importance tasks. It’s fine if you want to tinker and experiment with a different OS, but for day to day usage I think you should really be using something more stable.

What line of work are you in that bans windows? The entire point of windows is enterprise management, which macOS is famously bad at.

minus-squaremuusemuuse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·12 days agoOh yea, windows is a huge risk, but convincing management and IT not to use it is a monumental task. I actually work with health data too and we upgraded to win11 micro PCs and it’s not going well.
