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.

I'm curious how you managed that
Id imagine the discussion would go like “something something Linux = free something something Windows = money, hence save money by going linux” 🤓
Or going with GSuite instead
Ding ding ding
From one evil to another...
The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you're forced to work online you're more likely to work in the shared folders. If that's true, we'll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.
Do they not know how to use a shared onedrive? It's exactly like whatever google offers.
He just wants to use Linux at all costs.
He can still use linux with onedrive though, you can edit simple documents on the web. Edit them on libreoffice and upload them will also work.
Depends, Microsoft has collaborative features that libreoffice/onlyoffice can’t use
Agreed.
See my comment below, we're moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you're forced to work online you're more likely to do so in the shared folder. We'll see if that's true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.
Could you just mount google drive?
Is there a good solution for that? It seems like most of the projects to do that have been abandoned.
It is natively supported in most desktops
I use the KDE integration, but it seems to create a new path every time I open a file. That breaks the recent file list in apps.
