Can’t say what company, but a large company that provides education tools has been looking into ways to be less dependent on Microsoft. They have some of their employees currently using Linux computers right now. Some employees in the IT department still need a second Windows computer.

You have to spend a few seconds to actually learn how the apps install. By default you can only install flatpaks but they have containers to install apps from any distro too. You can’t install apps natively unless you use one extra command.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would you do with a bitcoin windfall?English
23·2 years agoToo be honest I don’t see a future in any crypto except for Monero. I’m not a crypto expert but it’s the only one anyone actually uses as currency because it’s designed to be more stable and transactions are kept private.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Could President Biden fully legalize cannabis before he leaves office?English
1·2 years agoI would recommend THCA over any other legal high because it’s just converts to THC when cooked or burned and is literally just normal weed

Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp continues working on Instagram integration behind closed doorsEnglish
8·3 years agoIn India nobody texts on anything but WhatsApp and in Puerto Rico no buisiness has a website it’s all just Facebook pages. I am a huge privacy advocate but unfortunately I still depend on terrible tech due to the stubbornness of society.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?English
34·3 years agoI’ve always felt like most people lack problem solving skills. Nobody knows how to use Google or just figure things out themselves. Friends often call me for tech support but it’s often very basic things like how to plug in an HDMI cable or how to fix an error that says how to fix it in the error code.
I work tech support too and deal with behavior like this daily. 90% of what I do is simple things that can be found on the first Google result. People open tickets asking how to unmute their microphone in Teams, it’s ridiculous.

Technology@lemmy.world•Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fightEnglish
916·3 years agoSo odd that the open source platform that allows sideloading and doesn’t even come with an app store by default is the one that is a monopoly but the locked down one with total control over your device is not.
Some Android flavors even come with other app stores. Samsung phones have their own Samsung app store that even includes Fortnite.

10·3 years agoIt’s an immutable distro that simplifies running Android apps and containers for software from other distributions. It uses it’s own tool for immutability called ABRoot that also allows you to safely install native packages when needed.
