I certainly didn't miss "in the office." For my office use, at a very large corporation, I personally have no need for Windows at all. None of the people on my team have a need for Windows.

My entire team would be more efficient with a Linux desktop.

OF COURSE my team doesn't have a choice. OF COURSE most people who work at a mid size or larger corporation don't have a choice. But we ALSO don't use Win 11. The implication in the original comment was that it was a recommendation, but that definitely wouldn't be the best recommendation for everyone.

The only reason to use Windows in a corporate environment is because that's how it's always been done. That's changing though, because a lot of executives want Macs now, cause it's the new shiny thing. Maybe that'll start allowing other choices down the chain too.
