I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.

While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?

I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.

    Anecdotally and perhaps of interest, my current workplace uses a regular Dell PC running lightly customised 10-year-old OpenSUSE. It’s a UI control interface for a large machine

    Because the machine’s expensive and production-critical, the PC isn’t allowed to be connected to any networks (security airgap). It’s sort of the antithesis of most corporate Linux usage: constantly online servers that do very little direct user interface
