Every so often, someone emails or DMs me (XMPP and Signal available too :)) to say that they are a lawyer, they've seen my various blogposts, and they want to try Linux for work purposes.

I am absolutely here for this.

I delight in people dipping their toe in these waters carefully and sensibly. One can try it easily, without having to make any immediate commitments or irreversible changes.

What about support to British innovation such as Matrix? ;)

@citc I used to use Matrix - I ran a synapse server for a while - but I had problems with audio and video, and too many decryption issues.

I'm not averse to running it again but, right now, I've no really need to do so.

@neil

Success depends on what they use Windows for. If they have business critical Word/Excel macros or templates, or depend on Active Directory, Linux migration will be more difficult and needs more planning, possibly better done in stages.

@copsewood Oh, I'm not proselytising, just talking to people who express an interest to me!
