I am going to ask if I may use linux for work. We are using windows but there is nothing that couldn’t be done on linux. Privately, I am mainly a fedora user but I’d be happy with any OS and DE or wm. What do I need to look out for when I suggest an OS? What does a computer/ linux/DE need in order to be ready for enterprise workstation? Will I only have a user and no sudo rights? May I install all flatpak apps? Does the admin have to be able to remote ssh?

    In my previous job I ran my main laptop with Linux. Pain points:

    • MS Teams liked to crash on screen sharing
    • o365 email and calendar works best on Evolution, but still is not perfect
    • meeting rooms often had special usb dongle to connect to the screen. That never worked on Linux.

    Overall it was glorious.
