You know how you make the expertise in a large organisation?

You call for volunteers to run a pilot, move one team or a product to open source alternatives, learn what skills are needed in your tech people, what transition training is needed for staff

Have the pilot group select the desktop environment, change it if the choice generates too many tickets

Take that and roll it out more broadly, possibly aligned with new desktop hardware rollouts

Add to the good - you get to know that the US government couldn’t lean on a single American company for access to your organisation’s secrets

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
