▲ 110 ▼ Linux in hospitals? (lemdro.id) submitted 2 years ago by governorkeagan@lemdro.id to c/linux@lemmy.ml 48 comments fedilink hide all child comments I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part. Do you know of hospitals using Linux? Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?
[–] governorkeagan@lemdro.id [S] 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) The hospital I was seemed to still be using Internet Explorer…. I wonder how the various software needs of hospitals would be with Wine? My guess would be that it wouldn’t be stable enough for them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago Equipment firmware has rigid stability constraints. Office software, if IE is good enough, a tested and unchanging version of Wine is good enough. permalink fedilink source parent
