Can You Use Linux / Ubuntu At Work / On The Job?

Some tips for how to find ways to use Linux productively at work / while in non-Linux environments or with freelancing clients. 

My recommendations:

1) Try to use cloud software as much as possible as these are almost always OS-agnostic.

2) Virtualization technology has advanced tremendously in recent years. This makes it easier than ever to run Windows and Windows programs while running Ubuntu on the host. VMWare and Virtualbox are two great options in this respect. If you're a desktop use, I recommend installing both a bare metal installation and a regular VM to really cover yourself. Make sure to back up your Windows VMs regularly. MacOS is unfortunately much more problematic. 

3)  I recommend steering away from Windows emulators and relying upon supposed inter-compatibility between software written for different OSes (for instance, MS Word and LibreOffice). In my experience, this can introduce unprofessional-looking formatting issues.
