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.

Just wanna know if there's anyone managing and supporting a company-wide linux desktop deployment.

What are the hurdles during first adoption phase, what day to day support is like and which software are being used?

BSA and Microsoft will always nag business about office.. They do threaten any uni/education uni in Asia, if we don't have any license or having MoU or buy from them, they will find even tiny small wrong doing, either if you student are using pirate windows, they will blame the uni, and bring it to the court.. We only buy the Education pack yearly because last time it doesn't end well with BSA...

Even I have office license yearly.. Family pack. I only need the one drive 1TB, just it's cheaper with family package... Than Google or others. I do know idrive or pcloud, but idrive or pcloud in Linux isn't great in bisync using rclone... 😢
