I so hate Microsoft office 365 suite of products

When all the backend stuff is configured properly it all works great, but one small hickup with authentication pathways and everything goes tits up. I'm not very knowledgable with MS365 stuff or all the backend authentication, licensing, etc. so I can only escalate to the MS guru's (at another site) and hope for the best.

The pressure is on hard to upgrade all our personal systems to Win 11 as well. My PC has no access to 'live' operations as that's all done through hardened access channels. So I don't like being told I have to upgrade.

I'd so love things to be based on Linux, but it's not considered secure enough (quite ironic in my view).

I'd have thought Linux would be considered more secure. It's got a much better user security model, more like Unix etc. Also you need properly managed packages to install on Linux. I know most organisations go Windows because there's less training normally of the user base moving in. Windows continues to be the biggest platform because it's the biggest platform if you see what I mean not because it is the best.
