In our case we need Linux because the software we use only run there or is better integrated. Infact we use WSL for the core activities, bit WSL is crap.

Yep it's ultimately up to them, however as a team we were invited to give ideas and preferences. I'd like to pitch my preference for Pop!_OS, so I'm looking for data to back it up. Anyway I'll follow your suggestion and ask more specific questions in the contact form, even though I don't formally represent my company.

Yep, Ubuntu was mentioned as an example in a few meetings and I think they will end up doing that. And it's fine, give me literally anything other than Windows and I will be happy, however I'm a spoiled kid, so I also don't really want Ubuntu.

 

Cross posting this here because pop has been my daily driver ever since I found out about it in ~2019 and I would like to push its adoption also in my company, so maybe some people here have experience about this, or maybe some of the folks at system76 might have some pointers.

Hello everyone, my company (our department is of around 150+ developers/machine learning people/researchers) is currently considering switching from Windows to Gnu+Linux for company devices (as in the machines we use in our daily work) and we are currently in the phase of collecting requirements. I'm not in charge of the process or involved in the decision phase, but as an enthusiast I'm curious about it. We handle data and other sensitive resources, so the environment should remain managed by the IT department (what's possible to install, VPNs, firewalls, updates and similar). What do companies generally use in this kind of scenario? I'm assuming they generally do some stuff with either Canonical or Red Hat, but are there alternatives? Are there ways to do something that works across distributions by using flatpak or the nix package manager? What are your experiences?

As far as I remember, they said in some reddit post that the theming will be shared.
