Most non-technical people have a pattern of work. They know how to do their job because it’s been repeated over years. This change will alter many of those patterns.
Even the simplest things like text editor or using a command line will be disruptive.
The support staff is going to be overwhelmed.
- prmoustache 3y agoWhy are you talking about using a command line or a text editor? How does it relate to the subject?
- ChicagoDave 3y agoSwitching from Windows to Linux Desktop?
- prmoustache 3y agoNo need to tell me you haven't touched a linux distribution in the last 2 decades.
- ChicagoDave 3y agoI’ve run a Debian server for decades. But I do use nano and not vim.
- CRConrad 3y agoI hear there's this nifty new thing called a graphical desktop environment nowadays. Even on Linux.
- dezgeg 3y agoHaven't those people who have years of experience also gone through years of forced MS Office GUI changes?
- Stranger43 3y agoand yet thats only ever brought up when defending windows despite the fact that MS is cauing this kind o issues every 3-5 years. So how is it that people can go from XP->vista->10->11 and not break the bank on retraining or from windows to MacOS but somehow anything else is impossible. This is not an logically coherent argument against linux it's basically admins being scared of having their decades of investment into wintel ecosystem devalued. The problem is that because your applications is windows specific your not comparing windows to linux your comparing whatever legacy mess of custom applications that people use to get their job done to whatever your replacing you win32/winforms legacy stuff with(which is something you have to do anyway as that platform is dying).
- ChicagoDave 3y agoDo you know how many Excel apps run in windows shops. Windows isn’t dying anytime soon.
- CRConrad 3y ago> Do you know how many Excel apps run in windows shops. Just one, Microsoft Excel.
