I know very little programming and/or technical info. regarding computers. I understand that using an open source Linux distro allows a user to have a extremely low cost pay model of an OS...where the user doesn’t need Microsoft or Apple to run their computer.
Aren’t there enough Linux distros, programming languages, and programs, robust enough to run a medium sized enterprise already? So that the exorbitant fees charged by Microsoft and Apple can be avoided? Why the need for users to require a large for profit based OS provider?
