    Realistically, there are probably half of office workstations, maybe more, where the business users who use them can do everything they need through a browser.

    In that sense most stuff already works on Linux, including basic productivity software, email and calendaring, real time communications through Slack or Teams or whatever.

    More specialized jobs might need more specialized software, but for many workers they don’t need that.

      Less than half. A good portion of those office workers rely on Office macros and other bullshit that doesn’t run in the web version.

        Unless they ditch Office for LibreOffice or OpenOffice
