I don’t have experience in IT, but 5/7 places I’ve been to supported multiple OSes, and the one thing I can definitely agree with is; that the cheaper places seem to hire clickops for their IT team and wonder why everything is so difficult.
We don’t need to replace every accountant’s Excel with LibreOffice overnight, but forcing your dev team to basically setup their own mini IT infra to get anything done is incredibly inefficient. I spend a few hours every week dealing with hanging explorer, crashing software, filesystem operations, buggy windows manager etc.
