That's what we need for office workers mainly.
Don't get me wrong, I love linux, but it has its place and it's not the standard office desktop environment with centralised administration - and I don't think it ever will be, because no one's tried to compete with AD etc. (edit to say that centrify wasn't great)Last edited by Scoobos; 17 September 2021, 12:01.

Nothing, although my customers servers generally use Windows I'm not dependent on it for what I do and none of my own servers use it. In fact no one should be dependent on MS because whatever Windows can do other OS's can do too. MS has gone backwards in their quest to make a single user PC OS into a ubiquitous OS for all purposes. They should have bought and brought VMS forward Linux style rather than hiring its designer and butchering it as an MS-DOS upgrade to produce WNT then further despoiling it with sticking plaster updates to produce the Windows series of performance killers
However what you see as an inferior O/S is the people's choice for a reason.
