I’m just tired. On the last post about having Linux at our work, many people that seems to be an IT worker said there have been several issues with Linux that was not easy to manipulate or control like they do with Windows, but I think they just are lazy to find out ways to provide this support. Because Google forces all their workers to use Linux, and they have pretty much control on their OS as any other Windows system.

Linux is a valid system that can be used for work, just as many other companies do.

So my point is, the excuse of “Linux is not ready for workplaces” could be just a lack of knowledge of the IT team and/or a lack of intention to provide to developers the right tools to work.

    I work for a small company and I run Linux for work without issues. However we’re small enough that we don’t have an IT department. Most of our tools are web tools or are platform independent.

    In contrast my girlfriend’s company uses Windows over a remote connection via thin client. It’s a high security job though most of her work is in Microsoft Office and SharePoint.

    Setting her job up with only Linux would be a million times harder.
