I think switching to linux will become easier going forward simply because developers are embracing web technologies and developing their apps as a webapp and/or electron apps. Sure it's not ideal but makes switching os trivial because most of your "apps" are available via a web browser or as an electron app. Many orgs are migrating to google apps or office 365 online and do their document editing online these days. Can't have office version compatibility issue if all your docs are in google apps.
