I bring it up any opportunity I get at work, but nothing yet. Unfortunately, our IT team does not have the skills or experience working with Linux, so it would probably be a rocky and dicey transition. As a dev, I think I can maybe convince the right people that our team should go Linux and we could be the test cases. We would all survive without the MS suite, but a lot of tools would have to change, like Jetbrains instead of Visual Studio.

Jetbrain is really an upgrade tbh

I agree and that's what I use on my personal devices. It's different enough that there would be some growing pains transitioning a whole team that's lived in the VS world.

I guess Visual Studio is not VS Code? (I don't use Windows, but do use Visual Studio Code at work.)

VS code is lightweight and has a lot less features. Visual Studio is a full featured IDE. If you're familiar with jetbrains, it's kind of like the difference between Rider and Webstorm.
