Linux in the corporate space

Tekkip20@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 155 points –

I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.

While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?

I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.

I tell customers to use Libre Office. I tell them its free, cross platform, give them a link to download it, and ask if they have any further questions.

If they said IT issues, I'd ask to talk with their IT department. Its not difficult to get IT to install trusted, open-source software.

You're delusional or only deal with very low stakes because frankly if your costumer is a 1000+ employee company on industries like banking and whatnot you'll just lose the customer right there.

Sometimes you have to do what is right instead of what brings you the most money
