Not only do you have to do a lot of feature replacement (getting off of teams and using zulip and jitsi. Getting off of outlook and using Zimbra. Using next cloud over whatever the hell Microsoft's version is)... You also have to deal with all the Microsoft chucklefuck IT people who never touched a command line before. The push back I had in previous companies is lazy IT folks who don't want to learn anything their Microsoft certification didn't teach them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago Not to mention that windows domains fail gracefully. You can still format and reinstall if you want but most problems can be cleaned up as you limp along rather than taking the whole company down with a single server failure permalink fedilink source parent [–] naticus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago Yep. Already did at home and I still need Windows at work. I may get to that point eventually but not there yet myself. When it's time for a hardware refresh for me, I think I'll push for Linux and see if I can work on ways to roll it out elsewhere too. I really need to find a way to manage it in a similar way to Group Policy, but haven't looked into it too much yet. permalink fedilink source parent
