What do you have to use Windows for? 🤓
@redcoqui Yes Windows is like religion at my company. I only use Windows for work. I do not know why I did not switch to Linux for personal earlier. I am curious to know which significant companies have been able to switch their desktop environments completely to Linux and what challenges they had. I suspect that some of the things we do not like about Windows for personal use is loved by the company admins, namely the ability to centrally monitor and control the desktops.
@krock Don't you worry about hardware driver support though? So many drivers are made only for Windows and Linux relies on open source alternatives right? Like, WiFi chips. You'd have to get a computer with a processor that advertise Linux support and even then, who knows what the experience would be like.
@redcoqui I was responding to the discussion basically saying that I am good with using Linux personally to meet all my needs, but I have not seen Linux adopted as the desktop or mobile standard at the enterprise level. I would love to see it, and I think it is possible. I agree driver and other support is better in Linux.
@redcoqui I agree that drivers can be a challenge, but HW manufacturers will support the needed platforms and standards prevalent such as RISC5. The big challenge for Linux and most FOSS solutions at enterprise level is money influences and high politics around IT. I have been in the industry most of my life and constantly deal with architecture that was seemingly decided on a golf course.
@krock Sorry, I got ahead of myself and started to go off on tangents. 😅
