fwiw; I worked in a company that was kind of a Linux pioneer back in the 90s. We ran Linux for everyone. The accountant ran a VM for his accouting software, but except that everything was Linux. And once set up, it worked very well, for techies and non-technical alike.

If you get past installation and initial setup, using Linux in a desktop role isn't really challenging if you've got access to support.

I don’t believe lawyers can live without ms office
It used to be that they couldn't live without Word Perfect.

Funny how that changed.

I sometimes work with lawyers and doctors. As a Linux user I always need to have a macbook around for when I need MS Word.
