@molly0xfff I can also hear workers unions and GDPR lawyers *screeching* over this one.

On the upside, it would be cool to get to do a full enterprisewide Windows-to-Linux migration for an org before I retire.

@subm3rge @molly0xfff Chances for a full Windows-to-Linux migration are good, at least in Germany.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community has been working on openDesk for quite a while. Federal offices run Windows in a VM on secured Linux hosts and mostly anything important is a webapp running on Linux anyway. LibreOffice is the default in Schleswig-Holstein now(~30k desktops).

This will not end well for M$

@subm3rge @molly0xfff Linux as desktop has gotten good enough and Wine runs a lot of Windows programs now

@subm3rge
The entity I work in makes such a transition, on a voluntary basis from the users. Ho boy, M$ is making recruiting volunteers for migration easy !

@subm3rge @molly0xfff No. The data remains on device, so why should this be an issue regarding the GDPR?

@conamara @molly0xfff If your question is serious: The data will not stay on the device. The second law of therminfodynamics makes it so.
