I am going to ask if I may use linux for work. We are using windows but there is nothing that couldn’t be done on linux. Privately, I am mainly a fedora user but I’d be happy with any OS and DE or wm. What do I need to look out for when I suggest an OS? What does a computer/ linux/DE need in order to be ready for enterprise workstation? Will I only have a user and no sudo rights? May I install all flatpak apps? Does the admin have to be able to remote ssh?

    Also most Windows-centric companies hire Windows-centric sysadmins who’ll hide behind any excuse not to show their linux ignorance.

      my favorite line they like to use is something to the effective of: we have to use something that can handle many users; implying that linux cannot handle thousands to millions of users, completely ignoring that it’s the most widespread server os on the planet handling billions of users.
