I have worked with Linux for years and years and have a pretty good knowledge 
of the OS itself, but since this is for my work computer it should be easy to 
install and get going with the various services we need to use at work (Skype, 
Slack, Active Directory, Exchange, etc), and of this I have little experience 
as a Linux desktop user (I much prefer OS X / macOS for this but Mac is not an 
option my employer wants to offer) in an enterprise environment.
