I keep seeing people say this and it’s like have you actually ever used Linux in a production environment?
Linux is great on single computers systems and of course on servers but trying to manage hundreds of desktops, laptops, iPhones, iPads, random Androids you have to support because C suit, and PoS till systems that run on modified Windows XP and you realise you can’t just switch everything over to Linux.
Because Linux doesn’t have a clue how to support any of that. As much as Windows is trash and I hate it, there is no replacement for Active Directory or SCCM, even Apple don’t have such a robust support system.

Half of the stuff you mentioned already doesn’t use Windows.
I’ve seen places able to include Linux dev machine in their fleet. Not doing it is either laziness, incompetence, or understaffing.
