there's no chance my company stops using Windows any time soon
and until then, I need MS to stop doing their goddamn best to make it impossible for me to do my job
Unless you are locked in by hardware or some very specific software, you can make a very compelling case on how much your company can save on MS licenses every year.
Unfortunately it wouldn't be practical as it would mean replacing and replicating everything that exists on SharePoint, Azure, Power BI and a multitude of other MS services used by thousands of users.
