We migrate your team to Linux, match the right desktop environment to your hardware, and include Wine so your legacy Windows software keeps running.
Most businesses are spending thousands on Windows licences, hardware replacements, and Microsoft 365 subscriptions — when older hardware running Linux can do the same job for a fraction of the cost.
We handle the full migration: hardware audit, desktop selection, Linux installation, Wine configuration for legacy apps, training, and monthly support.

Cut IT costs, keep your Windows apps, and extend hardware life — all in one smooth migration
Lower cost. No per-seat licence fees, no forced upgrades.
Old hardware works fine. Lightweight desktops run smoothly.
Fewer viruses & malware. Linux is a smaller target.
You own your software. No subscriptions or audits.
Stable and fast. Less bloat, fewer forced restarts
Some Windows-only apps won't run natively. Wine covers many but not all.
A learning curve exists. Staff need a short adjustment period.
Specialist software may be unavailable. Some CAD/accounting tools are Windows-only.
Vendor support can be thinner. Some hardware/software vendors don't support Linux.
Not every team is the right fit. Heavy Adobe or niche apps may need Windows.
Test your exact software stack before you commit — no surprises after migration.
