Based on Ubuntu. Interface and functionality like Windows, users will not feel much difference. BRICS countries committed to their own Linux distributions. South Africa has been the exception.

I'm not sure how things were really, since across the years the message has changed.

In the initial "we failed, let's revert to Win" times, Debian was named. I remember those times and news well, since I made a bunch of flamewars on both Debian and Ubuntu forums concerning the choice, especially since I myself had similar - hardware compatibility - issues in our corporate environment and I perceive the choice of distro as equally puzzling and idiotic.

Should anyways have started with 5 years of requiering new hardware to be linux compatible.

Exactly.

Or, they should check what hardware they need to replace on the spot and how much it'd cost.
