In terms of the basic office utilities like text editor, spreadsheets and so on, Google is a good contender. But Google Workspace isn’t even close to the functionality IT admins have with Microsoft Defender, Intune, Entra, Purview, and so on.

There’s a lot more going on at the administration side than just the user’s experience, that could make it less ideal to move to Linux.

I’m saying this as someone who hates both Microsoft and Google.
