What exactly does Linux offer that M365 does? Linux is an operating system, not a full suite of business management software.
you're right, and - to your point - Linux vs. Windows poses some potential challenges for some organizations who still cling to the hope that they'll still hold onto control of anything an a year or two.
on linux, you can access all microsoft office apps for free by using your browser (which is what will totally replace the shit you own in a few years anyway).
so, please tell me why you pay for ads on your OS?
I don’t have ads on my OS, Windows.

i don't understand why we're in disagreement about this. are you not having the same experience as literally everybody else?
Ackshually Linux is a kernel.
If you take "Linux" broadly, you could piece together a business management stack.
