OS used in a electronics development setting

In my experience, engineers love going on about how superior Linux is, but when it comes to the actual work, they tend to choose Windows precisely because "it just works".

Counting Microsoft's update disasters the last 12 months many people might disagree with "it just works".

JohnnyMalaria:
Windows, by a mile.

When I worked in the pharmaceutical industry, everything was connected to a Windows machine.

Personally, I use Windows primarily but do some Linux stuff mainly because that's what's shipped with the RPi.

For many situations, if you know what you are doing, the choice of OS should be immaterial unless it's part of a formal design specification.

Oh man what is up with that anyway, do they not test their code? I guess they do... in production.  :-DD  I don't remember it being this bad before, I mean yeah windows 98 and that era had lot of random crashes and blue screens and lockups etc that required to end task or reboot which was still pretty horrible, but Windows 10 seems to be plagued with bad updates that render the whole PC completely unusable. I'm so glad I don't use that OS I would be so pissed if 1: updates were being forced on me, and 2: these updates had a decent high chance of completely trashing my computer.

Counting how many times Windooozze  locked and trashed
and bugged and failed over the 20+y w/me that sounds hilarious

My 6y nephew after 5 minutes was pointing and clicking and
dragging and fussing a linux machine built for him...

He can say that works.. even learned the finger asap
