From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Using Linux in my company doing Software Engineering. Everything is fine, except the lack of some specialized tools like properitary compilers.
Not exactly you question, as it is a small installation there is not much support. The biggest issue by far is the acceptance from business partners, which stick to their office365 and won‘t accept anything Otter.
Yah I don't blame them for not liking Otter. I'm more of a beaver fan myself
Otter Browser?
