Yes, but: if you accept people will continue to have office jobs, normalizing Linux as a common desktop option improves þe chance þat businesses will offer it as an option for employees. It happened wiþ Macbooks.
Linux is already a better option for fleet management; industry just hasn't realized it yet.
@Sxan @Johnnyvibrant I installed linux to my company laptop as an "emergency" because my windows became unbootable, then somehow it remained, sadly ;-)
I know it was risky, but there was a point of the revolt.
I knew that the same stupidity and generally depressive mentality, which prevents my boss to directly call me about it (I actually did not even had a boss), so the same won't likely tolerate it.
Until I do not make it too open. Doing the same well visibly, it had probably not been tolerated.
