Description

We all know that Windows 10 is end of life this year. The prospect of that alone should be enough to motivate change to Linux desktops - but the current US administration is providing a lot more reasons - tariffs, annexation and questionable attitudes in defense partnerships to name a few.

I've been part of migration projects most of my career, so in this talk I'll present some of the big picture items to consider when you are promoting the idea of migrations to Linux - such as politics, cost and practicality.

Thankfully the growing movement to cloud based applications has reduced Windows dependencies, so it is now easier than ever to migrate to a Linux based solution.
