Most people don’t have a choice, their OS is decided upon and managed by their employer.
Plus, there’s definitely benefits to using the most popular setup if you have to interact with the normal business side folks more. LibreOffice’s cross compatibilty with Microsoft formats can still be sketchy with some of the more complex features.
I certainly didn’t miss “in the office.” For my office use, at a very large corporation, I personally have no need for Windows at all. None of the people on my team have a need for Windows.
My entire team would be more efficient with a Linux desktop.
OF COURSE my team doesn’t have a choice. OF COURSE most people who work at a mid size or larger corporation don’t have a choice. But we ALSO don’t use Win 11. The implication in the original comment was that it was a recommendation, but that definitely wouldn’t be the best recommendation for everyone.
The only reason to use Windows in a corporate environment is because that’s how it’s always been done. That’s changing though, because a lot of executives want Macs now, cause it’s the new shiny thing. Maybe that’ll start allowing other choices down the chain too.
