So far we have tried Ubuntu, vanilla, and MX. 

Talk about confusion and complete misinformation and hipe.  

The development talent wasted on building an operating system thats supposed to be better or safer and in the end they are all unorganized and do things completely different. You can waste days or even weeks to understand the methods to complete tasks when all you really want to do in install programs and work. 

For me I just want to Fuck Microsoft off my network, no I am not able to do this, I still have equipment that relys on the bullshit microshit company for running and I'm just not smart enough or have enough time to eliminate Saten's os warriors. 

Inroads have been made on the CNC front and most machine control can be run from linux and that's a positive development.

Our development with embedded devices is all done with linux and its our objective to do our instructional content on Mint linux 

So that's the call for now

I have had some great success with linux and am very glad I started working with it. I didn't have a choice but to use Utumbu on a drone build and that was pretty successful, still chipping away on the openvpn setup with docker. My latest move was to install Vanilla Linux distro on my oher computers, I read it had some great securty features and I was not haxing alot of luck with MX or others. Tes it's confusing because there are so many linux options and so many opinions, what's importand is you start working with command line input. 

So with that FU microsoft and google.  

yes i still have a couple win pcs because they dont run on linux and I still have a couple sic Macs for video editing but all in all the linux decision was a great one

It's very easy these days to create a install thumbdrive. For your security and for development ditch microcrap!
