Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sounds good to me, I would just deploy linux clients and the end-users can do their "365 cloud stuff" online on it.

What a Linux sysadmin dream, I love it.

I'm using Linux on my main PC, to work, maybe I'm not supposed to do it but anyway 😁 and I'm using Teams of course, and it's shitty. The old electron app or whatever is not supported anymore, the new PWA does not work well with chromium and I needed to install Edge in Linux just to use Teams. I was a un*x sysadmin and I'm glad I'm not supporting windows/Linux in a company 😋

Teams has a flatpak. Is it shitty, too? And btw. You misunderstand me here, Windows 365 would be a Cloud OS running in whatever (maybe browser), so there will be a use of Teams in the Cloud OS not on the local host.

I know similar use cases. We use for example docker based containers for browsers or libreoffice, they are accessible through domainnames and nobody who surf to this domain has to install these apps.

Edit: we have already Linux clients and It's so nice to maintain them. I use some ansible playbooks + cockpit and everything runs automatically.
