Any Tipps on how to do that in a business environment? Preferably from people who are actually using Linux in a professional environment? I'm using Linux at home for more than a decade now, and I don't miss Windows at all, but transforming a smallish company to use Linux in a way that is remotely as comfortable as the Windows stuff seems impossible for now. I need to find solutions that don't make it harder for our staff to get their work done, because they are busy enough with actual work.

Simply replacing MS Office with LibreOffice and Nextcloud for example does not cut it. The tight integration of MS Teams, Office and Cloud functionality is seen as a huge benefit there and I can't just take that away from them unless I find a combination of tools that work in a similar fashion. Using Google products instead is obviously not a viable alternative. Every cloud based solution I have found so far is underwhelming at best and lacks a good integration.

Serious answers appreciated.

As it stands Linux isn't really viable in a business environment. You can make it work but it will involve lots of pain and suffering along with toms of custom scripts and configurations.

It is great for servers but Linux desktops are hard to manage and are unfamiliar to most folks.

With that being said, supposedly fleetdm can manage Linux devices

Nextcloud has Nextcloud Talk, and you could add the Collabora or OnlyOffice plugins. There you have it all.

Nextcloud is such a pain in the ass. I would never deploy it in production due to its monolithic design

Been using it for years without trouble.
