Comment Yes, 100 users on Ubuntu here (Score 1) 198

We run Linux i.e. Ubuntu 18.04 on +- 100 Intel NUC's & Thinkpads, this is for a NGO office. Mostly people are happy, they do a lot in the browser and Libreoffice. We have some resistance from the users, MS Office does not always play nice with Libre and some users just want software they are used to. Right know the biggest effort is put in getting the users off random "free" cloud services and on our Nextcloud instance. We do have one Windows server for a handful of users who need to work in a Win only admin system. One user has a Windows VM and we have a Win desktop and laptop for Adobe software. We did manage to remove 5 windows desktops the past year. Either way, with some small exceptions it is perfectly possible to run an average office on OSS. I'm actually pretty sure it ends up being a lot better for both users and admins in the long run. I have found you are a lot more flexible if you set things up correctly. Most failure stories I have seen are of people messing up at that part.
