I have no movies, photos, or video games. I do have a lot of work-related things like cloned repos and stuff like Visual Studio and SQL Server.

You want hoarder…my friend has over 120 TB in rack mount storage in his garage across multiple systems and NAS devices. It’s insane.

HAHAHA.

Wait, how? I have zero games installed on my 1TB laptop and still only have like 300GB free.

For me it’s…

• Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn’t come close)
• SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
• Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
• Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn’t fly.
• More responsive RDP. Unfortunately for server management I’m juggling 3-4 RDP instances daily and I’m not typically allowed to install AnyDesk or VNC or anything. I’ve tried a couple RDP alternatives and there were just all sorts of problems from keyboard issues to rendering issues to general sluggishness.
• There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn’t available on Linux.

But! All the above said, I run Linux and have a Windows VM. And I also run Windows and have a Linux VM - so it’s almost there for me. If work & clients all ditched Microsoft’s ecosystem, it’d be a lot easier for me to but, unfortunately, they pay my bills.
