The main push back i get is in order to maintain soc2 compliance the IT department needs to run auditing software on the laptop. Microsoft intune barely support linux and is years behind on the os versions it will work with. IT does not want to run multiple audit software packages.
ah the early 2000s days of fedora.
Linux isn't ready. Not for home users anyway. And I've tried recently. Just constant problems that if I wasn't getting paid I wouldn't have wanted to deal with.
I don't see how it's not. I have all the desktops and gaming PCs in my house running EndeavorOS and it's been a flawless experience, much better than Windows. Heck, I've been using Linux for my general desktop since 2015. I only kept a Windows install around for gaming, and that's not even needed anymore.
Even the difference in the installs is utterly absurd. Linux install from USB to full desktop deployment is 15-20 minutes, tops. For Windows, it was more like 2 hours and a bunch of hacks to work around their Microsoft account bullshit.
What exactly "isn't ready" in your opinion?
Only when the pain of bowing to Microsoft, and their increasing intrusions and demands, exceeds the (IMO) minor pains (multiple) of switching to Linux, do people make the jump. That threshold is low for some, and high for many.
I'm a Linux Mint exclusive guy for one year next month, and I'm never installing Windows again. No, it didn't "just work", but it did work 85% out of the box, and the rest I was able to figure out. I'm NOT "an IT guy", and the only OS I used before Windows was MS-DOS (so, yeah, I'm old).
I play Fallout 4, and Half-Life 2, and run Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, LibreOffice, Calibre, Jellyfin, Forge AI, PrusaSlicer, Meshroom, SABnzbd, etc. etc. Everything works fine, now, and I'm perfectly happy without Microsoft all up in my shit.
Oh, and, BTW, Gimp 3.0 is the shit. I've used Gimp off and on over the years, as a Photoshop user for nearly 30 years. Gimp doesn't do everything Photoshop does, but it now does everything I ever used Photoshop for as a graphic designer for 20 years.
