    That would be fine, except that every professional job I’ve had, the office uses Windows - specifically MS Office, sometimes with an additional program for the industry or Tableau or a CRM. Same goes for every industrial place I worked at as an admin - except in cases where the OS was still DOS on the floor, it was always Windows on the production equipment (usually 9x). This was in the 7/10 transition days too, so it’s not eons ago.

    The only place I ever saw Linux in use in an office was a “server” the owner’s nephew set up for a LAN and left running. Whenever there was an actual problem, he came in and rebooted the machine into Windows Server to actually diagnose and fix it. He just didn’t want anyone to know that the Linux side was there so that it had a command line with a bunch of data, so that the uncle didn’t get any funny ideas about fixing it himself.
