Businesses are being persuaded to buy new hardware just to support Windows 11. Sometimes the computers they own are less than 10 years old. Add in the servers and you’re talking real money.
Here’s a little secret the computer industry doesn’t want you to know: you don’t need a very powerful machine to run most business applications.
Computers made at any point within the last 20 years (at least) can run modern Linux operating systems with ease. They can be file servers, collaboration servers, even web servers.
Most websites and large tech companies like Google and Facebook run their businesses on Linux. A small business owner can, too. No more paying licensing fees for software that you’re forced to buy every few years.
I can help you choose between Red Hat or Debian based systems. I typically recommend Ubuntu Mint for desktops and Debian Linux for servers. Maybe you’d prefer Kubuntu on the desktops and Oracle Linux on the servers. The choices are plenty and completely up to you.
