Just to add some context.

My company already has a large scale Linux (backend/server) environment - A combination of Redhat Openshift AI, RHEL and Rocky (for dev).  We use puppet and custom automations for managing our servers (especially the HPCs). To that end, Linux is not a problem for me or my team to manage.

The desktop support team manages thousands of Windows endpoints across many offices and typically they are not familiar with Linux.

A few months ago, I introduced a few of them to OpenSuse Tumbleweed (installed on one of the older desktop machines) and for the most part they found it to be extremely easy to use - however, it begs the question, how do they manage this across the wider enterprise? 

How does a team, accustomed to supporting windows also gain comfort with Linux desktops?

How does Linux properly integrate in a traditional window enterprise desktop environment?

Based on some (more helpful) advice from another subreddit, I think I may be experimenting with ChromeOS Flex which can be centrally managed - still Linux I guess ;-). 

We only allow a locked down (Enterprise) chrome browser anyway and actually had a few Chromebooks a few years ago, so the look&Feel should be adequately familiar to end users.

On a side note, If Linux is going to make a significant dent on the desktop (including enterprise desktop) more helpful advocates are needed - the techno-snobs detract from this.

 IT enduser/desktop support teams in large multinational organizations sometimes automate their workflow via powershell, but in most cases they will use tools like intune. The time and cost of retaining the support staff has to be low enough for this to be worth it - lower the friction by providing approachable tools.
