Linux Workstations Win in NZ Firms
Kiwi firms move to Linux. Windows costs rise. Linux saves money.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Kiwi firms use Windows. That can add cost. That can slow work.
Try Joe’s Cafe. They paid for Windows every year. Their devs ran slow tools. Their bugs grew faster.
What This Means
Linux costs less. Linux runs faster. Linux is better for code.
Windows uses a lot of RAM. Linux needs less. That makes coding smoother.
Why Kiwis Should Care
Linux is open source. That means free tools. That means fewer software bills.
NZ offers tax breaks for open-source work. Firms save money and stay fast.
The Fix
Switch to Linux. Keep work tools working. Keep apps running smoothly.
