F’real. And lots of specialized software has marginal support for Linux at best, so it ends up being a chicken/egg problem. There’s no business software for Linux because nobody uses Linux for business because there’s no business software for Linux.
I hope many other IT orgs will realize that it’s so much easier at the end of the day to thinapp them through a platform like Omnissa or whatever Citrix is calling theirs now.
Then, hopefully, Linux numbers go up and it gets treated like the first-class citizen it deserves to be.
The idea of atomic linux desktops in an enterprise setting tickles me in a way that would get me called into HR.
Never heard of it. But we are a .mil contractor (among other things…we put a lot of R&D into civilian tech and biomed, and that’s almost entirely funded by the blood money, so my conscience is conflicted, spare me more lecturing) and security is paramount.
So I’m pretty much telling everyone I know at work about this now. Especially as we are teeing off a move towards more VDI, more cloud-first (.mil makes us lag behind on that stuff). This…it’s everything I wanted.
Let me just check with you that i’m interpreting this comment correctly:
I accidentally informed you of a Linux platform that is highly interesting to you and fits your exact use case?
Well great! happy to help. I work for a HW OEM that is “IGEL Ready” so I’m familiar with their platform and it’s use cases, but I don’t use it myself.
so, bit of a non sequitur here but: I’m interested in other work if you are familiar with some roles looking for a “solutions architect” type person and want to chat about that sorta thing in the DMs.
Windows is becoming increasingly hostile and really I think the only reason people and businesses still use it is mass Stockholm syndrome.
It’s the ultimate vendor lock. All of our productivity software is on windows, we designed our productivity stacks around windows.

IGEL OS could potentially get this kind of pull going from medical/govt primarily to more general business
