Windows 95 software also runs on Linux, with Wine. And it works for me.

“no virus” is because it's literal extracted from the text, not my words. I explain then what I understand with saying “no virus”, as any device can have virus, JavaScript runs on Linux, Windows and Apple. It's common sense. No need explanation.

Well, I think they are expensive because they are actually experts, not like random IT hired personal that (in my case) couldn't even understand how OAuth works.

I said distro instead OS, Linux is the most used OS, many people behind working in secure the Linux environment. The example of this exploit also exists on Mac and Windows for years, and it will always happen.

An admin user will know what they are doing, and I doubt they will install a package from an external source downloaded randomly on internet, for the non-admin users, without sudo they can't install/infect that malware on your Linux.

But you realize Google did this already? I don't think they are wasting any money on Windows unless for market domination.

"I will do it tomorrow", I say that to myself and to many people. Not proud of this.

Yeah, my work doesn't really support Mac at 100%, but we still use it as docker on Windows is much more a pain, so we are using Mac devices outside that Windows system controlled environment, they told us, and we lack the access to the VPN, still we use remote windows to access on our work network, and we can also use Microsoft Office this way and feels like having it installed on our Mac. (Our Mac don't have licenses for MS Office)

So as I said, I'm tired of people making excuses... it's perfectly valid 😭

I'm just tired. On the last post about having Linux at our work, many people that seems to be an IT worker said there have been several issues with Linux that was not easy to manipulate or control like they do with Windows, but I think they just are lazy to find out ways to provide this support. Because Google forces all their workers to use Linux, and they have pretty much control on their OS as any other Windows system.

Linux is a valid system that can be used for work, just as many other companies do.

So my point is, the excuse of "Linux is not ready for workplaces" could be just a lack of knowledge of the IT team and/or a lack of intention to provide to developers the right tools to work.

Exactly. Do your work and provide to developers their tools.
