Awesome! 😃
I just changed to Linux with my private laptop this week. What a relief after Microsoft grew more and more annoying every year.

That’s awesome! Let us know how it goes.
As an executive, my colleagues used to be perplexed and worried about my choice of operating system. The funny thing was that no amount of explaining made them understand my choice. So I learned to avoid the whole subject and use a windows background image :)
That's hilarious! XD

One of my reasons for leaving my previous job at the Danish Hospital sector was, that I was no longer allowed to use Linux/KDE on my work Labtop.
Good to see that others have a more pragmatic approach to things.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social my company was considering a mandate for company computers for all work (new thing).
i agreed, and sent a link to the #framework 13 and said I'd run debian on it.
to my surprise I got approval from both my manager and IT!
it goes to show... if you don't ask, you won't get what you want (you'll get windows).

Recently, I applied for a job.
The interviewer stated that "no new computers running Windows would be bought and you could choose Linux, if you want".
Very cool - still, I didn't get the job.
In many cases the default is chosen because the people placing the order don't know any better. An educated staff can help them make better choices.
Schleswig Holstein absolutely must speed up. Bring OSS back on the political agenda as they are pioneers among the federal states. Of course, there is also the topic that there will be subsidies and of course Söder got in touch as soon as he heard about the money. If only Munich's mayor hadn't lobbied for MS back then. By now, limux would certainly have resulted in a stable system for authorities with the possibility of marketing the whole thing to other countries... Unfortunately, the opportunity was destroyed back then.
