"why would we do that? Our systems don't work on that, our people aren't trained on that, no, get back to work"

I think that would be a pretty accurate reply to a casual request for an entire infrastructure change

"there is a bomb strapped to my chest, if you don't install Linux on every computer in here I will explode taking you with me"

I wouldn't recommend this method but It might work out

our systems

Guaranteed all of your backend systems are running Linux. If not, holy hell why.

our people aren't trained on that

Oh no, pointy-clicky on things on a desktop is so hard to train for people who have used an OS where you... um... pointy-clicky on things on a desktop. Whatever shall we do.

Complain all you want, not a single manager out there is going to shut down any part of the active systems in place and potentially lose business to upgrade to Linux. At that point, just bring your own laptop instead of moaning about it.

And I used to think the "just switch to linux" guys were a meme, bro you're making me want to switch back to windows out of spite
