Will Corps ditch Windows over Recall for Linux? (reddthat.com)

What do y'all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?

Edit: explanation for this particular user is below.

I'd imagine it's due to a lot of smaller companies/orgs that can't afford it and have too few users or machines to justify the costs associated with management infrastructure and costs. I know a lot of companies just buy machines with Pro and have some local IT configure them manually. Pro is marginally better than Home, with regards to management capabilities, but still has some bullshit that is tough to manage consistently.

You can setup Samba AD on a old machine in the worse case. However, a Windows Server basic license is expensive but not much more than pro.
