Solution: don't ship a shitty distro. This is the sort of issue that actual IT professionals need final say in. Not the MBAs. Not the politicals. The people who actually know what they're doing. Additionally, years ago Linux was in a much different place. It's really matured into something more suitable for both the average end user as well as professional adoption.

Thats the problem though, there are near infinite ways for someone along the way to completely fuck it up, and very few ways to get it right. And security concerns are almost always going to make the distro worse for the users.

And even if it was left to IT professionals, they are just as capable of making it a mess on their own.

We could say that about every single general decision that anyone in the world has ever made. It's a truism which tells us almost nothing about this situation.

IT professionals only get a say when the C-suite accepts that IT is a necessity, not a burden. This is extremely uncommon.

Working in enterprise IT sucks. I've had jobs where we had to have CFO approval to buy a bag of zipties (the request was denied, BTW)
