I’ve been working on taking back my data (from Microsoft) by building out my business around Linux. But, the big question I get every time I talk about it is ‘What about Group Policy?’. Of course, Group Policy is the name of a Microsoft product, and you wouldn’t try to manage your ChromeOS fleet with it, so why try to force it on Linux too? Fundamentally, it’s just a method of pushing registry and configuration to machines, which we can already do on Linux with packages or automation, but of course the Linux desktop is not a clone of Windows, so what configuration should we push?

Today, I’m trying to solve a problem for my Anti-Microsoft Organization - how to manage installing software and configurations on organizational computers. I’m building my own packages, and relying on the package manager (apt or dnf) to manage my software!
