@doctator it is possible to standardize stuff tho.

  • And to do so at a better degree than #Windows.

One of the best features my #university had with their @ubuntu - based #DisklessWorkstation setup is that one just logs in and boom you got your desktop and settings and files on any machine in the Campus.

@kkarhan @doctator @ubuntu Windows can do this too, called roaming user profiles. And this since Windows NT 3.1, 1993.

@roman78 @doctator @ubuntu shure, but it's a pain in the ass to setup, and you need like big ass Windows Server and stuff to make it actually work incl. applications.

  • And since Windows doesn't have proper user permissions managment and almost all applications assume they get admin rights, that's bricking peoples' workflows.

And even if one is.willing to go through all those hoops, #licensing is way worse, more expensive, less flexible and overall painful compared to the straight pricings of #Canonical, #SUSE and even #RedHat...
