I am going to ask if I may use linux for work. We are using windows but there is nothing that couldn’t be done on linux. Privately, I am mainly a fedora user but I’d be happy with any OS and DE or wm. What do I need to look out for when I suggest an OS? What does a computer/ linux/DE need in order to be ready for enterprise workstation? Will I only have a user and no sudo rights? May I install all flatpak apps? Does the admin have to be able to remote ssh?
Many orgs mandate this. You’ll be fine.
I used to roll out mint xfce edition or Qubes to our staff laptops, unless an employee asked for a specific distro. I think some used fedora.
Don’t use flatpak; its a security risk.
Why is flatpak a security risk? The applications run isolated and offer higher security, unless I’m missing something?
Because it doesn’t verify the authenticity of code it downloads before it installs it
I don’t think that that’s true. At least not more than for any other community maintained packages.
Neither does dnf/apt/pacman. You are always at the mercy of the package maintainer(s).
