If you’re curious about migrations, there will be several talks at this years FOSSDEM from people sharing their experiences migrating whole organizations /municipalities to FOSS.
they put linux mint (cinnamon edition) on computers. people more or less used it normally, i’d say most people barely bothered that it’s not windows. essential software that we needed to use was pre-installed (with neatly visible icons on the desktop to click on), and web browser was installed too. that covers basically all use-cases.
one colleague asked how to do screenshots. i showed her.
For everyday computer use, the experience is pretty similar. Unsurprisingly so because that’s how they designed Cinnamon. Funny though, your colleague didn’t think of typing “screenshot” into the search bar of the start menu.
Let us know, I’m very curious. At our school (cal poly pomona), our comp sci professors were upset Ubuntu got put on their lab computers and they were upset because IT didn’t give warning and some didn’t know how to use it.
our university put linux mint on all the desktop computers this year.
Compsci labs or everywhere?
the department where i am. don’t wanna say which one because privacy concerns.
Wir petzen schon nicht.
Cool. Which university is that? How did it go?

That sounds like the dumbest possible way to go about this.
