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.

    When I was at Driver’s Village, a fairly large dealership in central New York, I noticed the salesman was using a computer with wallpaper that said Windows 11. This was before Windows 11 was even released. It was very obviously a Gnome desktop. I’m guessing IT just put the windows 11 background on it so the people using it wouldn’t complain that they didn’t know how to use Linux.

        The salesman I was dealing with seemed to have no trouble using it, but all he was doing was using a web browser and some database access.

            I didn’t work there. I was a customer. I didn’t know what they were using. I didn’t recognize the interface, I just barely know enough about databases to recognize that’s what he was doing.
