At this point Linux can do anything windows can do

IT guy here, this is just not true at all.

So far I have never seen anything on Linux being able to replace functions like GPOs.

[–] johannes@lemmy.jhjacobs.nl 7 points 22 hours ago

Actually, i’m learning to Go to do just that. GPO’s are basicly just configuration management. And there’s Ansible, Chef, Puppet. These all work on Linux.

FreeIPA + any mechanism to deploy configuration files.

Or, go full circle and manage thin clients connecting to a central Linux mainframe x)

Irrelevant, all the ads will be disabled in iot / enterprise anyway and they can afford to Make their own software or at least tire someone to, the only reason they don't have full page ads btw give them just enough to keep them wanting more.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

No, it is highly relevant, for two reasons:

  1. You specifically said, I even quoted you, that Linux could do anything Windows could, this is false.
  2. Organizations has relied on the central management of Windows workstations for decades at this point. It is one of the biggest selling points of Windows outside of home computers, until this is rectified, I don't see Linux or Mac dominating any time soon.
