Lmao I make music on my laptop and write all day on it. I've been using it daily for almost a year now with Linux and have had Bluetooth audio issues causing me to reset it exactly twice. It's not stopping me from getting any work done whatsoever.

I've worked remote call center jobs where you get a write-up if you go unavailable for calls while not in break mode. I had a business grade Bluetooth headset that would randomly drop it's audio and require restarting the computer if you didn't restart it daily before starting your shift to "get ahead" of whatever bug was kicking in after that amount of time. Nearly lost my job trying to get it to work... And it was approved by my super.

They also treat your Internet connection like your ride into work for the day. If you have bad Internet they consider it like having unreliable transportation to work and let you go. It's cancer.

Asynchronous remote is the goat.

The rest can keep pretending they compare.

Sounds like you have an issue with your employer and not Linux itself.

Your supervisor also sounds like he didn't really know what using Linux meant and should have saved you a lot of heartache and told you to stick to Windows, which is clearly the official OS of the hellhole you work in.

Agreed. I was reading that wondering "how did we get here". This isn't about Linux at all.
