@parker >The software just doesn't yet exist on systemd/Linux for a lot of business applications,
I'm not sure what you mean. There is more software available on GNU/Linux than windows, especially for business tasks.

A lot of the time what a business needs is custom software and it will save them a huge amount of time and money to get something for GNU/Linux that works properly and doesn't have a monthly rent, then get something on windows that doesn't work properly and have a huge rent.

>most people can't/won't spend time fiddling with some command line based alternative when that time could be spent making money from clients
The whole idea is that they're free software replacements, rather than mere alternatives.

In many cases, a CLI or TUI interface is much faster than a GUI.

It's a waste of time to make money from clients if you have to hand most of it over to a proprietary master.

>when the industry standards expected by regulators only exist on Winblows.
A proprietary program is never an industry standard - there is a proprietary master and servants that have to do as the master says.

There is real industry standard software on GNU/Linux like asterisk and nginx etc.
