▲ 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?
