  • Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

    This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I’m putting it down to lack of experience, but there’s so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can’t due to how windows is set up.

    I’m hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.









  • You might not be aware but there’s also a fairly content-rich successor project called SpaceStation 14! Its obviously nowhere near as featureful as 13 is, due to lack of development time but has a very active development community around it.

    One of the major (imo) improvements is a move to per pixel “real time” movement instead of the tile movement of ss13, it helps make them game feel much more alive and interactive.

    Definitely worth a look for fans of ss13, and its also open source and Linux compatible.
