So i’m currently managing a small store and running MX Linux as main OS on all desktops, because i want to spread Debian words in my city, but people are often regretting on using my desktops for my system.

Any tips for making them less fearful on using Linux, i’m about half year running MX as my main OS, so my experience is not as a totally beginner, much less as a sysadmin.

Any help would gratefully appreciated.

    Contrary to Gnome (which has only gotten AFAIK heavier), KDE has put a lot of effort into becoming more lightweight as part of the efforts to make it run on Smartphones (Plasma Mobile).

    You could try to run Collabora Office remotely on a faster server and let people use it in a browser. The UI is a bit more simple than regular LibreOffice which Collabora Office uses internally on the server. But I would try OnlyOffice first (which has the option to run locally or on a server).

      I have only used Collabora on Android, definitely i’ll take a look at it’s server. Thank you so much.

      also i’m gonna try running KDE at my personal desktop (which is way better than my office’s) on a vm and see how it works, if it works well, probably that’s the way i’ll take on my office’s desktops.
