Linux is missing enterprise management tools. For all its horrible flaws, nothing like SCCM, In tune, group policy, and Active Directory (in the sense of managing group policy, not so much identity) exist for Linux. Fix that, even commercially, and you might see a real change.
There's plenty of enterprise management tools available - these tools all existed in the Linux world before their adoption to Windows.
There's a bunch of different configuration management tools available:
Or you could go for an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution:
These lists are not exhaustive.
The same tools that manage data centers full of servers can also be used to manage user devices.
I'm aware of these, but invariably when discussing with my intercompany peers it's a hard no. When a company completely ditches MS it literally makes the news. The cost vs complexity formula must not make sense (also user retraining and interoperability problems are not solved here either).
I would love to break the stranglehold MS has on general corporate productivity computing but I also want to keep my job.
Sorry, it didn't seem like you were aware of them from the post above. There are plenty of reasons to stay with Windows, Linux lacking enterprise management tools just isn't one of them.
People don't generally care which OS they use as long as they can get their job done. We had one sub-division entirely on an immutable Linux desktop, another media unit was all-in on Apple products. As you say though, they're outliers - simple inertia will keep people with Windows for a long time to come, their dominant position ensures it.
The cost vs complexity argument isn't a compelling one either - there's a reason so little of the internet runs on Windows.
My Linux laptop at work is enrolled in Intune
Finally someone know how IT works in the corporate world
No thanks! I'm more into abolishing capitalism than facitating it further. I'm looking forward to the end of all commercial enterprises and especially management! It should be as difficult and expensive as possible to establish hierarchical systems of digitally managing large corporations.
