Companies that use desktop Linux

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.

Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.

Company’s full windows, I use both as does the software I maintain.

I think they are a bit harder to manage

That’s either BS or FUD, pick any two. Stick to a specific distro and train your staff and there’s no reason for any IT personnel to find linux “harder to manage”.

Users grumbling it’s harder to use might be a different matter.

Linux is Linux. Train your staff to properly use one and they can use them all. “Distro” is just a fancy word for “which package manager and update cycle to we chose and what logo do we put on our pre-installed wallpaper”.

Not us. And worse the guy in charge loves edge and hates firefox.

My company uses Ubuntu on a few products they sell to customers, but it’s only a relative few devs that use desktop Linux as a daily driver.
