what os you use for administration?
Hi folks,
I just got a new job as an azure admin in a cloud-only company.
As part of the onboarding process I could choose between "mac", "windows" and "linux". No further details on any specs, vendors or models.
So I chose windows, because that's what I grew up with and it has a native powershell integration. Seemed very useful for admin tasks...
No what was delivered is a 17" , 3kg anvil, which can barely be opened with two trained bodybuilder arms.
I take the bike to office, together with some water, food, wallet and so on, I don't have to explain. And my bag is freakin' heavy.
I don't really care much about power-specs, 16gb ram is a must have, but for anything else I really don't care too much for my cloud-only job.
But what I DO care about is weight, touchpad, keyboard, screen and general quality of workmanship.
I also really don't really care too much about the os itself, I can and have worked with all of the big 3. They have their flaws and their advantages. I'll get used to pretty much everything.
Now I was confirmed to get a new laptop and I can choose again. This time I got to see the hardware before I decide. I know that there are several windows and mac lying around. Most of windows laptops out there are not even close to equal to the general quality of any mac laptop. With some rare exceptions.
Now for my question(s): Is anyone of you azure admins preferring mac over windows? What disadvantages do you have if you don't use a native windows for you daily tasks?
I know I can get a powershell running on my mac, but what else is there I haven't thought of?
Thank you all in advance!
