Companies that use desktop Linux

Basically title. Do you know of any companies that use desktop Linux?

I can think of two in my area in Brisbane - Adfinis and Red Hat. Both have a pretty small presence here from what I last heard (several employees each).

My employer allows the Linux team to use Linux but it's discouraged and our lives are made somewhat difficult.

  • I opened up the floodgates at my office dedicating support for anyone wanting to. All our servers and production are Linux so probably 1/4 of the staff is cli literate.

    So far it's me with NixOS and one other guy running Debian.

    Half the remaining use WSL.

    • This is why Microsoft made WSL, they knew they were losing ground big time amongst devs.

      • I've loved WSL. I've been able to throw an Ubuntu CLI in front of 30 devs that had almost no Linux experience. I've got them scripting and doing service control. The ssh terminal is reasonable, they can use standard openssh pems. The only real problem is the VM doesn't play with cisco well so they can't easily VPN and use the VPN sesh in WSL. I have workarounds, but they're kinda crappy.
