did you expect them to run meme OSes like arch?

"Linux also offered financial firms the ability to modify the source code to further speed performance, Lameter said. "It depends on how daring the exchange is," Lameter said, noting that NASDAQ uses a modified version of the Gentoo Linux distribution."

I work in the finance industry, and have done so for years. Most shops use Red Hat, there are a few that use Windows. Also, the shops that use RH all use Windows on the workstation (i.e. Linux is all infrastructure & Windows is on all of the workstations that users use. Pretty bad, but at least easyer to recover)

>Sudden urge to pet doggie.

I work at a company that makes software used by ISPs covering >50% of the internet in this country (and some companies in neighboring countries) and our codebase is full of MS-specific shit, our shit only works with MS SQL Server and we have 0 tests for any of our software. If you read Reddit/HN/4chan enough you come to believe that software development works in a very different way from how it actually does in the real world. Maybe at a startup you can use your Python/Clojure/Haskell memes and have 100% code coverage and code on your Mac OS or FreeBSD or whatever the fuck. But that's not reality for the other 99% of companies who have to maintain legacy garbage they've carried with them for 30 years.

>Linux is fucking everywhere in the back end
My reading comprehension failed me the first time I read the post.

>>60389039
Statistics say otherwise. You might be confused and think this is about desktop Linux. Yes, that's not making any market penetration and isn't gaining. Linux is widely used for servers because companies can build it for specific purpose for whatever needs to be done without insane licensing fees. Windows of course is still big in the market but products utilizing custom Linux are huge now. Hell, even BSD is used in enterprise.

>>60389116
in your butt desu anon

>>60389103
Yes

>>60389153
Microsoft just wants the license fee so soon enough you will be able to do this in Linux if you have hardware your company won't update but keeps pushing resource usage

>>60389179
Linux is common in the companies you actually hear about (Google, Amazon, etc.) and they get a huge market share in the server space purely because of those companies. But in smaller companies in the rest of the world people want something with OOTB support and a company that they can call for help, and they choose Windows. I would guess that if you look at the number of server computers, there are more Linux boxes simply because the companies that do use them are massive. If you look at the number of companies using the different OS, Windows wins.

Hardware and software vendors give that support for linux. Your argument is invalid.

What did he mean by this?

>>60388676
*Press Alt+F4*

>>60389249
Sure, I can see that. However it really is case by case at that point. There are various OOTB solutions with support for Linux but they're typically just specialized like QNAP and Synology for storage. Most commonly what I've been deploying lately is windows server for desktop management and Linux for web hosting and storage. They work fine together.

>>60389418
My argument is based on 20 years of experience and not once having yet to see a company in this country use Linux.

I mean think about it, how many Pajeet shops do you think use Linux? The reality is most of the world's software companies are closer to India than they are to Silicon Valley/Seattle.

>>60388180
Figures some terminals run Windows? Could be your terminal. Or some ass backwards US investment bank's terminal.

NYSE and so on run "the" stock market on Linux, though.

>>60389462
that's because internet really picked up just recently which allows easier unix like oses distribution and adoption
before that you HAD to use windows

>>60388472
(((You)))

>>60389516
This doesn't match reality. Companies buy hardware and software at the same time and turnkey solutions are getting vastly more popular. So while Linux is getting more widely adopted it has nothing to do with Internet usage being common

>>60388738
F

>>60389602
oh but it does. your companies are pavlov's dogs and have belief in the professional look of windows and as you said they buy it on the go which is what i said.
and im sure if someone tries to show them non windows solution to which they are not accustomed they would ignore and/or just plain underestimate it, not on a technical basis but viewpoint only

>>60389749
Nonsense - execs don't give a crap what server screens look like.

>>60388235
I do.

>>60389749
Are we no longer talking back end? For desktop sure windows is king. For back end Linux is huge now thanks to OOTB, support for such systems, and turnkey solutions all now existing when they were either rare or shit a decade ago. Hell even Linux like is huge. I'm sure you've heard of a little company called VMware

>>60388270
That's definitely some type of Unix running beneath some type of Windows emulation.

>>60389884
"emulation" might not be the right word. maybe some type of app server or something.

>>60389462
>My argument is based on 20 years of experience and not once having yet to see a company in this country use Linux.
That's funny, but how does it relate to your original argument about the support? Zero. That's it.
