Just wanna know if there’s anyone managing and supporting a company-wide linux desktop deployment.

What are the hurdles during first adoption phase, what day to day support is like and which software are being used?

    Using Linux in my company doing Software Engineering. Everything is fine, except the lack of some specialized tools like properitary compilers.

    Not exactly you question, as it is a small installation there is not much support. The biggest issue by far is the acceptance from business partners, which stick to their office365 and won‘t accept anything Otter.

      Don’t know why people are such sticklers for msoffice even when they’re not power users. I’m having a hard time pushing just libreoffice, let alone Linux in my company.

        BSA and Microsoft will always nag business about office… They do threaten any uni/education uni in Asia, if we don’t have any license or having MoU or buy from them, they will find even tiny small wrong doing, either if you student are using pirate windows, they will blame the uni, and bring it to the court… We only buy the Education pack yearly because last time it doesn’t end well with BSA…

        Even I have office license yearly… Family pack. I only need the one drive 1TB, just it’s cheaper with family package… Than Google or others. I do know idrive or pcloud, but idrive or pcloud in Linux isn’t great in bisync using rclone… 😢
