> Funny thing is they said my activity level was too high (90%+) so my system was buggy. I said no its because I use key bindings and my input ratio is greater than their average worker.

This is even funnier, this guy knows how to work efficiently, get the job done faster and with less errors. And they fire him because they do not understand that such a person exists. They cannot wrap their head around it...

I've read elsewhere, and I'm agreeing more and more: MS windows is keeping it's users INTENTIONALLY stupid. That is, error's are strange and with weird numbers, checkmarks are unknown what they do. Troubleshooting windows is a nightmare all in an effort to make you go "IT is hard, let's leave it up to Microsoft, let's just rent it all from the cloud"

The more and longer I use Linux, the more I understand it and the landscape around it. Logs are much more "sane". Also: how to do correct troubleshooting steps. (Instead of the "shooting in the dark" type of troubleshooting that people with Windows tend to do.)

I'm at the point of blaming most bad practices in IT departments on the people just being accustom to bad Windows practices and working around them, and seeing that as "the normal". Even though it's actually insane for the amount of time wasted.

But I might me completely wrong. This is just my experience so far.
