    I’m really glad during the pandemic, a bunch of departments in my company focused on getting everyone Linux laptops. That led to a widespread adoption companywide.

    I doubt any department is going to get approval to move to Windows 11 and deal with Microsoft’s fees.

      What fees are you talking about? Genuinely curious because I haven’t seen any articles about new or increasing business fees.

        Business license. You need to license the OS and get the business version, times however many computers. And we’ll need to buy new computers, get the win 11 business, and deal with all the Microsoft bs like office 365 etc.

        Or just slap a Linux OS and have it join the rest of the fleet.
