@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social my company was considering a mandate for company computers for all work (new thing).
i agreed, and sent a link to the #framework 13 and said I’d run debian on it.
to my surprise I got approval from both my manager and IT!
it goes to show… if you don’t ask, you won’t get what you want (you’ll get windows).
In many cases the default is chosen because the people placing the order don’t know any better. An educated staff can help them make better choices.

Recently, I applied for a job.
The interviewer stated that “no new computers running Windows would be bought and you could choose Linux, if you want”.
Very cool - still, I didn’t get the job.
