Overview of desktops: Linux on-site or a remote desktop in the EU

  • On-site or remote desktop?

    Both are possible — including hybrids. The choice follows your preference; hosted remote desktops typically run in the EU.

  • What about Microsoft Office and Adobe?

    We use open or lower-licence alternatives where they carry day-to-day work. Specialised tools without a solid 1:1 we flag early.

  • How do costs work?

    On average €70 less per desktop each month, through open source, alternative products and licence savings. Our own price follows the scope and sits in the quote.

  • Can we run Windows in parallel?

    Yes, often useful as a transition: keep critical apps for now and migrate the rest step by step.

  • How do I start?

    Contact us with a list of critical applications. We start with an assessment and optionally a pilot.

Desktop on-site or remote

Linux on your devices or as a remote desktop in the EU. On average €70 less per desktop each month, through open source, alternative products and licence savings. A mix of both is possible.

On-site

Install and support Linux desktops on your devices — with office and creative alternatives matched to your needs.

Remote desktop

A hosted desktop in the EU, via remote desktop. Reachable on the move and maintained in one place. Operations sit with hosting.

What runs on the desktop

The same alternatives, whether the desktop sits on-site or is hosted.

Linux instead of Windows

Workstations and remote desktops on Linux — stable, maintainable and without unnecessary licence chains.

Office alternatives

Documents, spreadsheets and presentations on open or lower-licence stacks — aligned to your formats.

Adobe alternatives

Creative workflows with workable alternatives where day-to-day use allows; we flag gaps early.

Migration & training

Bring users along rather than surprising them. See also our training offering.

Training

Fewer licences, longer hardware

On average €70 less per user and desktop each month. Open source and alternative products replace commercially overpriced systems, and licence savings add to that.

€1,400

per month

€16,800 per year

Average, depending on the use case

Licences

Fewer proprietary licences per workplace. That is part of the monthly saving.

Hardware

Older or leaner devices stay productive longer.

Quote

Our price follows the scope and sits in the quote. The €70 is the average saving, not a package price.

From assessment to operations

Four steps before a workplace changes.

  1. Assessment

    Capture the critical applications and formats.

  2. Pilot

    A bounded trial with clear success criteria.

  3. Rollout

    On-site, as a remote desktop, or both.

  4. Operations

    Support, and training if you want it.

Honest boundaries

What we say before a pilot.

  • No 1:1

    Not every Windows or Adobe tool has a complete replacement.

  • Workability

    We keep day-to-day work possible and name the gaps early.

  • Price

    Our price comes from a quote. The €70 is the average cost reduction per desktop, not a package table.
