Yeah LDAP, Kerberos, SSO and other systems are available on Linux. Biggest thing seems to be peoples reliance on MS office document compatibility, so even though the libre/open office type products can supplant that, it is a tough sell when your vendor or customer wants MS word as a requirement of doing business together.
We sell PDM/PLM systems, some people choose the Linux version for their enterprise, many choose the MS windows version, because its just what people know about.
I think Linux on steamdeck might usher in a new generations of people that know about Linux and want to try it in the wok environment.
And this pdm/pdl system is open source is it?
Yeah, I should have expanded my thought. They use open source, but it is a paid proprietary system, I mentioned it as there is linux or windows offering but people choose what they know; Which is windows. But if you can get corporations on Linux (even non-opensource) it lends legitimacy for when other businesses look for an OS choice, which then can help Foss app adoption
