I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.
While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?
I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.
Yes, they are and I never said they weren’t management BS. Nevertheless management pays the bills, management makes the decision.
You’re just saying what I said before…
Yes, but the end result is that nobody sane would even risk not using MS Office and that’s what it is.
It depends, integration between MS products and services usually comes out of the box or working with minimal setup while with open-source solutions / Linux that isn’t always the case. Also Windows sysadmins are usually cheaper because you can get more and they require less training to be “efficient” than Linux ones.
Yes but you still have do it and it has a cost. Simply going full Windows is cheaper at that point.
