Basically title. Do you know of any companies that use desktop Linux?

I can think of two in my area in Brisbane - Adfinis and Red Hat. Both have a pretty small presence here from what I last heard (several employees each).

My employer allows the Linux team to use Linux but it’s discouraged and our lives are made somewhat difficult.

    I said free as in freedom, not free as in gratis.

    But since you want to double down on this bad idea, let me explain why it’s shit:

    If your employer expects you to use tools to do your job, they should pay for those tools if they cost something. Passing off operational expenses to the employees that use more expensive tools is hideously anti-worker, and it’s not even funny as a joke.

    Employers should pay for the tools used to run their businesses, and you should learn what the “free” in “free open source software” means, because it’s not about money.
