Will Corps ditch Windows over Recall for Linux? (reddthat.com)

What do y'all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?

Look at the VMware Broadcom merger. The price went way up and companies paid it anyway. However some did switch to the cloud or some other hypervisor.

Also the Linux desktop isn't geared as much towards the enterprise. It isn't easy to lock down and the vast amount of options is a blessing and a curse.

Not to mention that most enterprise software is Windows based.

Not necessarily unless you are talking about legacy software

It is not all of us Enterprises that "just paid". We chose a migration project over "just paying" Broadcom and would not call it a merger, but rather a takeover.
