    You cannot migrate all devices running Windows to Linux easily, if your machine contains all sorts of software that was designed to run on it as is. That would be a really poor decision.

    Your staff knows what software stack you’ve built should work where and how, and this includes Windows. Swapping it with another operating system will complicate things way more than what they’re dealing with, and no one will want to deal with that.

    A very little reminder that CrowdStrike for Linux (yes, the same falcon that crashed on Friday) caused kernel panics at least on Debian after a broken update in April. So the issue is not the operating system but the vendor not having a proper quality control (which is no big surprise, the current CEO was CTO at McAfee when they rolled out a broken update in 2010 which caused massive outages worldwide)

    How can you tell if someone runs Linux on their personal computer?

    Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

        I’ve been toying around with mint as a secondary thing, i kinda like it. Haven’t made the effort to fully swap though.

      Sure! I use Ubuntu and Fedora primarily on my laptop and gaming PC, but Win10 and Win11 do run more stable on my machines. 🤪
