So, again, you are either implying that you run pirated windows on your work machine, or you are saying you can’t install Linux on your work machine. Neither is what this is being discussed. Having a boss is completely irrelevant
I don’t know, I’ve been using Linux for the better part of 15 years now, on my desktop, so for me it’s been the year of the Linux desktop for a while.
Sure, there are some issues here and there, but far, far fewer than in windows. Even 10 years ago.
My IT department likes to install antivirus software that makes it impossible to do your job because it will scan every compiled object file, inflating compilation times by an order of magnitude, even for distributed compilation jobs.
Or stupid “workspace management” software that will randomly uninstall work-related software and / or reboot your machine whenever it pleases.
Luckily I can use Linux at work, otherwise I’d have to either quit or tamper with my work machine to do my job.
And yes, the IT department knows. But they are always “understaffed” to fix stuff. Curiously, they are never understaffed to roll out new stuff that doesn’t work though.
Then why would you need to quit your job if you installed Linux on your personal devices?
You are the one that brought up that installing Linux would require you to quit your job, on a post announcing that one method to pirate windows no longer works, implying that either you use pirated windows at work, or your employer has the right to fire you if you install Linux on your personal devices.
Since the latter is extremely bonkers and, quite frankly, unheard of, assuming the former seems much more reasonable. Especially considering that tons of people do indeed run pirated windows at work, and I myself witnessed as much.
If by vim you mean neovim
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd(“fileType”, { group = file_type_group, pattern = “make”, command = “setlocal ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 noexpandtab”, })
Slap this in your config, done
