Year of the Linux Desktop
You have 10 seconds to name ONE linux desktop distribution that can actually be used as an enterprise desktop OS.

Happy New Year /g/.
Ubuntu has been a viable replacement for years now
The only thinking keeping it out is MS being a douchebag company and strong-arming Windows onto every computer in the universe.
>>52168189
Damn. Even Win 10 can't do all this shit properly. Definitely not OSX. OP, the OS you seek does not exist.
Sounds a bit like opensuse but the tier one installer is the problem,

Red hat you cunt, or centos, or debian or ubuntu or opensuse.
Sysadmin here, tons of our developers use linux daily.
I also use linux as my daily driver, centos.
>>52168253
Haven't used Kubuntu and Linux Mint is the worst fork of Ubuntu and I will never recommend it to anyone new
Debian, but only for noNIGGERs.

It comes down to the oligopoly of manufacturers and microsoft. If Linux and LibreOffice were in circulation, people would be familiar with their interface, you won't need training.
By the way, most of the operational and administrative staff especially women in the organizations here have to be trained to use MS Office and other in house software.
I had to train several people in my office on how to use Excel and Word for book keeping and invoices. It comes down to fear and uncertainty that people have about open source software even though it has similar functionality.

>By the way, most of the operational and administrative staff especially women in the organizations here have to be trained to use MS Office and other in house software.
Large companies generally prefer to hire people that already have skills they need rather than train whatever people they can lure in from their $20 CL posting with half the necessary qualifications.
>>52168208
Correct
>>52168223
Ubuntu landscape can do management
>>52168227
Like normies care about unitu
>>52168438
dumbass, they obviously leverage the new Accounting as a Service (AaaS) models released by that new startup, Accountly. they even have a cool JS framework for integrating AaaS with your microservice architecture, I think its called countr.js
>>52168509
You would be surprised that in most 3rd world countries and even parts of US, there are people who don't know shit about computers.
The staff in 3rd world countries actually go on strike when they want to computerize the operations. They still use journals and hand written pages for book keeping and transactions.
>>52168519
I don't recall anything by the name of Landscape, I'll have a look when 16.04 releases if I can wait
>>52168459
Offering something as an extra that's not even installed by default and ignored in all documentation outside of changing DEs duing setup is hardly support.

Because that is the emerging market of users who have yet to be indoctrinated by M$ and Adobe. Millions of users who can become potential users and contributors to the free software ecosystem.

Pick one.

Elaborate
>>52168566
Yes but 14.04 still used upstart where it was changed recently and the pushing of snappy package management is a large change so I will wait after all it's the to be LTS version amyways

>>52168626
Where did I compare them two?
A few of my friends are actually interested in installing Linux, I'm helping them decide on a distro.
>>52168697
Xubuntu or Linux Mint if they're coming from windows.
Fedora Workstation GNOME or Ubuntu GNOME if they're coming from Mac.
>>52168685
How did you not?
You referred to upstart like its in the same category as landscape. There is no reason to even bring up the words upstart if we are talking about landscape desu senpai.
Last reply because I don't want a flame war.
>>52168604
>>52168613
You can use it. Or is it too usable for your neckbeard standards?
>>52168736
>Last reply because I don't want a flame war.
How's your first day on 4chins?
>>52168752
You can use OS/2 Warp as well. Or is it too usable for your neckbeard standards?
>year of the linux desktop
hopefully never.
>>52168752
The mentioning of it being in 14.04 was said after I deciding to wait for 16.04, I was giving reasons why I am waiting. It's my fault for causing it, I should give full explanation to my reasoning instead of giving the minimal.
>>52168752
Responding about the last quoted post, it is usuable but a new LTS version will be released which means many people will upgrade as 14.04 reaches the end of the cycle. I don't see a reason to use 14.04 especially if it's for my own learning.

Canonical are fucking retards.
W8 literally put MS on the ropes and freetards just went on a field day with all kinds of bullshit new GUI designs trying to lure people away from Windows when all everyone wanted was just a simple fucking start menu in the lower right corner to open up IE/FF/Chrome.
Linux had one real chance at the desktop and just threw it away, and it'll never happen again after they gave MS an entire 3 years to bring back every user they lost with W10 marketing/review shilling.

Any Linux distro with an open source browser that supports HTML5. That's where the office and mail tools should be already, and they are.
>>52168189
>needing any of this stupid shit
I like having a lightweight, customizable alternative to Windows, because my laptop lags with Windows. So I just use Arch, and it works for me. I dont care what pajeet in "tier 1" does, fuck him.
>>52174041
>because my laptop lags with Windows
Why do you even need a laptop if you're too poor (as in no job) to afford one that can run Windows?
CentOS , Redhat enterprise?
roll your own distro for the feaures you need.
if you can't do that, there's always RHEL and windows.
