    I can’t move the Windows 11 taskbar because I’ve been running Linux for over 20 years. Recommended fix!

      Linux is missing enterprise management tools. For all its horrible flaws, nothing like SCCM, In tune, group policy, and Active Directory (in the sense of managing group policy, not so much identity) exist for Linux. Fix that, even commercially, and you might see a real change.

        There’s plenty of enterprise management tools available - these tools all existed in the Linux world before their adoption to Windows.

        There’s a bunch of different configuration management tools available:

        Or you could go for an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution:

        These lists are not exhaustive.

        The same tools that manage data centers full of servers can also be used to manage user devices.

          I’m aware of these, but invariably when discussing with my intercompany peers it’s a hard no. When a company completely ditches MS it literally makes the news. The cost vs complexity formula must not make sense (also user retraining and interoperability problems are not solved here either).

          I would love to break the stranglehold MS has on general corporate productivity computing but I also want to keep my job.

        No thanks! I’m more into abolishing capitalism than facitating it further. I’m looking forward to the end of all commercial enterprises and especially management! It should be as difficult and expensive as possible to establish hierarchical systems of digitally managing large corporations.
