In our company in China, we had few admin staff who first touched a desktop PC on their workplace. Ubuntu Mate worked flawlessly for them.

Few others in marketing and business development who were protesting the lack of usual Windows, got along well after being pressured to actually try it before complaining

We have nearly windows free work environment. Ironically, the only workers who have to use Windows are engineers. There is simply no alternative for Solidworks, Vivado, Cadence, FEM/physics modelling and gazillion of Windows only SDKs for microcontrollers
