Easy solution -- don't use Windows.
Tell that to my employer.
I would happily do so! :)
Guess I should have worded that more as, "make my employer understand and make the switch". We can tell them till we're blue in the face but they do not seem to care.
Sorry to hear it :(
Lol, right, right.
Out of the gate: which distro? Which shell? Now get all a business apps working there, some which were custom developed in the 90's.
Or CAD. OneNote with SharePoint (which is extensively used). Etc, etc.
Look, there's a lot wrong with Windows, but switching to Linux for nearly any business isn't realistic, especially large orgs. And if you only have a few users, working around the negatives is trivial with a few reg scripts, or logon scripts, or Group Policies assigned by the DC.
Not with that attitude.
