    Sadly Linux lacks central administration possibilities wich is why winass is business standard.

        There isn’t much to learn most need to open work programs and thats it, its mostly a problem with management and convincing the managers of a company to part ways with winass.

        Managers are also the worst with computers. And they are the most likely to get viruses.

          Recently at work I set up Windows to open spreadsheets and word documents in Libreoffice Calc and Writer instead of Excel and Word. Nobody seems to have noticed yet.

          Either that or they don’t know how to change back again.

      Doesn’t RH, SuSE, et al have it, though?

      Years ago a friend of mine used to run a cyber cafe on Linux, with fully automated remote management. Have we regressed that much from there?

        Im not aware of any Active directory type server system for Linux.

        Another problem is the second and especially third level support. That is pretty rare for Linux, there aren’t many Linux ready Sysadmins.

    Most of my stuff works on Linux now, so, yay. Currently only thing holding me back from doing a full switch is essentially video editing.

    My current go-to video editor is Vegas Pro, and it just works like an extension of me, for me. I’ve tried few editors on linux (kdenlive, davinci) but they’re either very limited/odd/user-error-id10t or just doesn’t support video formats I need (davinci, free version doesn’t support h264 or hevc, and not feeling like shelling north of 300 USD for it). Next up on my testing plate is Shotcut, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

      I tried a few out and found that Flowblade worked best for me. If you’re only trimming and combining video though, you MUST check out Lossless Cut. It’s ridiculously fast.

      I’ve used Shotcut on PopOS.

      Worked pretty well for doing something about as complex as a editing together a typical youtube video.

      Hell I even managed to get it to support h.265 after some tinkering. h264 and hevc worked as well.

      Also, in a similar vein… Krita is basically Photoshop from about a decade ago in terms of functionality, less outdated UI and more functional than GiMP, though its a bit chonkier (memory / CPU intensive).
