From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just though I'd share

Edit: I'm not sure if this actually works. All else fails fall back to Ansible

No. That may be for you, but having the choice to be restricted by free software, fully transparently??

I dont get your point. You literally recommend companies to rely on apple or micro$ and to keep Linux incapable of such systems.

Would you have employees have root access, and write access to all other departments files too? This is just the base foundation of how stuff works.

I’m speaking solely about their workstation/laptop. If I am issued a Linux desktop system for work, and I can’t have root on it, heck no. I need to be able to remove Teams and replace it with the web app. I need to be able to install docker and vm’s. Add utilities I often use, replace gnome with a useable desktop environment, add zsh, install nerd fonts, choose the nvidia or intel gpu, modify grub, setup FDE and switch to snapshotting file system, etc etc.

I think we can agree here. But have Win11 with Teams, or Linux? I take Linux.
