Linux & FOSS Migration

Viruses target the masses — and since Windows holds the biggest market share, it's the biggest target. Linux is free, open source, and its file system is inherently less friendly to malware. Migrating to Linux and free open-source software can save you a significant amount in licensing costs while keeping your IT environment safer.

Why Switch to Linux

There are plenty of good reasons to consider Linux for your business. Here are the ones that matter most:

  • It's free — no operating system licensing fees
  • More secure — significantly less vulnerable to viruses and malware
  • Runs well on older hardware — extend the life of your existing machines
  • Easy to use — modern Linux desktops are intuitive and user-friendly
  • Drivers included by default with most installations
  • Multiple desktop interfaces to choose from — customize the look and feel
  • Software repositories with thousands of free applications
  • Better update process — no forced restarts or surprise reboots
  • Strong community support with fast patches and fixes
  • Gaming on Linux has improved dramatically in recent years

What We Migrate

We don't just install Linux and leave you to figure it out. We plan the migration, handle the transition, and make sure your team is comfortable with the new setup.

Desktop Migration

We replace Windows desktops with Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Fedora — whichever fits your team's workflow best. We set up equivalent applications for everything your team uses: LibreOffice for documents, Thunderbird for email, Firefox or Chrome for browsing, and specialized tools for your industry.

Server Migration

If you're running Windows Server, we can migrate your services to Linux — file sharing (Samba), email, web hosting, databases, and more. Linux servers are the backbone of the internet for a reason: they're stable, efficient, and cost nothing to license.

Open-Source Alternatives

For every expensive proprietary tool, there's usually a capable open-source alternative. We'll map your current software stack to FOSS equivalents and help your team make the transition smoothly. No more annual license renewals eating into your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern Linux desktops are very user-friendly — most people adapt within a few days. We provide a brief orientation session and documentation for common tasks. The learning curve is much smaller than most people expect.

We assess your software needs before migration. Many Windows applications have Linux alternatives. For the few that don't, we can set up compatibility layers (Wine) or keep a Windows virtual machine for specific tasks. We'll find a practical solution for every case.

It depends on your current licensing costs. Between Windows licenses, Office subscriptions, antivirus software, and other proprietary tools, businesses often spend a significant amount annually. Linux and FOSS eliminate most of these costs. We'll do a cost analysis for your specific setup so you can see the numbers before committing.
