We are a 40 to 50-ish company and have been running Linux on our desktops since 2005. Back then our stack consisted of Gnome with roaming homedirs on AFS, LDAP and Kerberos. As office suite we used OpenOffice / LibreOffice. For groupware we used Open-Xchange since 2005 all the way to something like 2018 I think. For ERP/CRM we used (and still use) iDempiere (started out as Compiere waaaay back, then migrated to the Adempiere fork, then the iDempiere fork).
The desktop was always a RedHat based derivative. Preloading desktops with Anaconda kickstart via PXE. I believe we started with Fedora and switched to CentOS for the predictability. And recently switched to Rocky Linux because of the new positioning of CentOS.
However nowadays we mostly use our Linux desktop with Google Workspace (Spreadsheets, Drive, etc.) and no longer self host OX, AFS, etc.
