Some aspects of my work would become easier (no more dreaded Patchdays!), but realistically, those dreaded PEBKAC-calls from users asking simple but tedious/annoying questions would turn into torrent that would make my phone melt. Sometimes I cannot help but think what it would be like if all those computers ran a Unix system.
The idea of putting a bunch of normal everyday computer users in front of a Unix system manages to fill me, at the same time, with joy, fear and surrealism (if that is an emotion).Īt work, I oversee a network of about 70-90 Windows clients, mostly in the hands of users who are pretty clueless when it comes to computers.
