At work, we have been using windows since I started. Last year, because of the cloud strike issues, our systems ALL went down at the same time. Even our backups did.

But our experimental Linux systems did not. And for a little while they were the only thing that worked.

Since then windows 11 has rubbed management the wrong way with the latest shutdown bug crippling a couple of servers...again.

So we got the ok to start using Linux for all new products. And management is starting to warm up to using laptops/desktops that are not windows. They are looking into Macs or Linux devices for the first time ever. So it makes sense if other entities are thinking the same thing.

Plus most programs are just web apps nowadays, at least where I work at.

I think you meant "crowdstrike"?

I am really happy for you but also extremely jealous at the same time
