Contrary to my previous article, just wanted to post one to highlight one area where continuing to use Microsoft and Windows for now makes much more sense, Enterprises. By day, I actually work for an organization with an enterprise-like environment in place, using mostly Windows endpoints and some Windows servers running on a cluster of hypervisors. And in that context Microsoft and Windows is easier and makes a lot of sense.

Currently on Debian for my laptop, though that may change in the future, and I selected EndeavorOS on my desktop due to my graphics card being too new for Debian. So far, so good.

I’ll go over a recap of Irish history at first, but to reveal the whole point of it early on, is that as an ethnic group, the Irish have not been very lucky. Potato Dependency and Famines As the soil is rocky in Ireland, one of the few things that grows on it are rooted plants like potatoes.

Personally I think there’s some information being withheld from the general public. I’ll break down topic by topic what I think is really going on.

Even though I try not to be a fanboy of any particular brand, it’s hard for me personally to find things to dislike about Foresters.
