  • But I’m not looking to overthrow Microsoft. My jobs finding solutions to problems that get presented to me. Not considering the business impact of my absence, that’s more something for my manager.

    Open source is a great thing and it’d be celebrated. Yes, I do believe if I were to switch everyone’s os with a visually identical Linux based one there’s probably very few people that’d actually notice.

    But like, being able to use libresoftware whoever you need is an intrinsic part of it. Making documentation is perfectly fair and we do have a trove of manuals for everything business related.

    The current way I’ve been selling open software it’s because it’s just better, not encumbered by “licensing” or fees; not full of arbitrary limitations. I’ll inform people that they have choices and 90% of the time they take the open source one. Yeah, making something last a decade takes work but I’d rather deal with the problems as they appear rather than just preempting everything.
