I see, so quite an old company then. (Access, IBM server and sharepoint, etc) Not something a newer company would be using.

I can see you would be stuck with that older tech debt. And finding people for that old stuff is harder then finding people that want to use the new stuff.

Teaching people to use Linux? I mean, not much difference between windows and KDE anymore? Just need to know how to log in, and start their software?

In the end, if your company is not able to move and change to a new world / user demands…

I’m getting the idea people are still using ms office? At least use the online version?

From exact to online sap, nextcloud and email clients, it’s all very much web interface based. So buttons are not moving for these users at all.

As a European IT admin:

Everyone in HR, finance, sales, management can all be moved to Linux. They all use webinterfaces for all of their work.

Software development, no windows specific software.

Even marketing / image creation… More and more software is ready or available for Linux.

Ignoring this very real option for most of your people is indeed silly these days.

Hell it might be worth having a central windows VM that people can rdp into for that one old windows app.

Splintercell Chaos Theory.

Good lord…

For instance: https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ml/post/37846820

Must be an American company? In the EU shops i visit, even citrix is Boeing replaced with web based linux environments.

Right up until these new Linux users start demanding linux at work as well. And IT folk will be more then happy to supply them.

No I truly think Microsoft is slowly losing the OS market.

Let me put it this way: if you had to start fresh. New company. Would you default to using windows? The fact that many are hesitant after that question, shows you Microsoft is losing.

And I label the current administration as nothing different from the Nazi era.

And I’m closer to the truth than this “lady”.

No. It’s child mutilation. Just. No.

Or. Complain to your government. This is one time i’m on the imgur side of it.

They can’t help that your government is stupid. Why should they then be banned from being used?

Slowcooker, crockpot, or Dutch oven type recipes.

Splintercell. All. Of. Them.

Why would you call it gas? It’s a liquid?

Splintercell.

Oh guys I’m kidding of course. I was going with the OP’s theme here.

Should have added something like ‘/s’ I guess?

Install a ROM on your phone and claim it no longer works on there :-)
