    I’m thinking about a Linux laptop with FOSS software for my business actually, Lemmy’s relentless horde of pro-Linux propaganda has won me over

    (OK I’ve always liked FOSS I’ve just never taken the jump)

      ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

      but seriously, modern FOSS distros (yes, debian is modern, damnit!) are amazingly good. you have an exceptionally high probablility of switching and staying switched.

        I’m looking forward to it!

        Side note: anyone got recommendations for business software? I’ve started browsing the FOSS community here for ideas but I’m not sure what QuickBooks alternatives exist

          I’m an accountant.

          The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

          When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.

          When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.
