TLDR: Microsoft fanboy mayor of Munich's unfounded public criticism is creating staffing problems. Difficulty in finding Linux-capable staff is cited as legitimate reason for not switching to Linux.
Excerpt of particular interest, to me:
> Commenting on the findings, Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation, said the foundation is aware of the need for a larger number of people with the skills to maintain and develop Linux-based operating systems within large companies and organisations.
> "Preliminary findings from our annual Linux Jobs Report, to be released in February, show nearly 88 percent of hiring managers are having a very or somewhat difficult time finding adequate Linux talent. This is why The Linux Foundation has expanded its efforts to train Linux professionals with expanded training courses, a free Intro to Linux MOOC with edX, and the new performance-based Linux certification programs."
