    At this rate we might finally see the year of the Linux desktop. I don’t know anyone who likes Windows 11 it’s been bad enough to convert even die-hard Windows fans to Linux

      More likely the year of the OSX desktop, at least in the workplace.

        As much as I’d enjoy getting to work with more Macs I don’t think workplaces will deploy them at scale for the cost alone

          Actually, according to IBM, Mac’s are cheaper in the long run. Increased productivity due to less downtime, and lower ongoing support costs show Macs can be cheaper.

          What other options are there. Businesses aren’t gonna use Linux and Windows is quickly becoming an unviable product.

            Everywhere I have worked defaults to windows but uses Linux for actually critical stuff. Apple is not even in the conversation.

            I work for a fortune 500 and we have a Linux program. It’s still in the testing phase, but it is being tested.
