  • It’s your and your wife’s home. So your rules apply. Make that agreement with your wife beforehand. So there are no fights afterwards.

    Things like;

    1. She must not address you. Basically act as if the other person does not exist.
    2. The visit will be as short as reasonably possible. For longer bouts with her daughter, your wife can visit her mother.
    3. She must be humble and accept the extreme difference in views.

  • I see, so quite an old company then. (Access, IBM server and sharepoint, etc) Not something a newer company would be using.

    I can see you would be stuck with that older tech debt. And finding people for that old stuff is harder then finding people that want to use the new stuff.

    Teaching people to use Linux? I mean, not much difference between windows and KDE anymore? Just need to know how to log in, and start their software?

    In the end, if your company is not able to move and change to a new world / user demands…



  • As a European IT admin:

    Everyone in HR, finance, sales, management can all be moved to Linux. They all use webinterfaces for all of their work.

    Software development, no windows specific software.

    Even marketing / image creation… More and more software is ready or available for Linux.

    Ignoring this very real option for most of your people is indeed silly these days.

    Hell it might be worth having a central windows VM that people can rdp into for that one old windows app.
