I do IT support at my company. We are a small business, but we work on many government contracts. I'm personally not experienced enough on Linux to support it at a businesses level. Part of working on government contracts is that we have to be CMMC certified in the relatively near future, probably first or second quarter next year. I'd love to get off of Windows, but like I mentioned I don't have the knowledge to get us there, and we're pretty entrenched in Windows until at least after the audit. Maybe someday, but the Microsoft m365 business GCC High is built with that specific certification in mind. It would require changing everything about our business to switch, and I don't care enough about the company to go through that.
