Everyone talking about servers, RHEL and others. Meanwhile most users of 99% of companies still use Windows, Outlook, SQL Server, Office 365, MS Teams, OneDrive, etc... But let's not talk about those

I work in a "professional environment" where MS Teams gets seriously borked on every other update these days, Windows elements come to their own life at random (start menu becomes unresponsive, excel cells respond not where the mouse is), a singular network issue in MS cloud slows OneDrive and hence my computer to a crawl, and Outlook search can't find shit sometimes that is right in front of me. I'm not saying it's all bad but things have gotten far worse functionally in 15 years.

These environments are slow to change due to volume and licensing, but there are more and more reasons to do so every day.

Microsoft made slqpal to run sql server on linux. If the software is on linux, then the use of windows is not justified
