It's just not a good idea, and not something most places should have
to do. Especially with free software where it should only have to be
done once and everyone should be able to copy it.
Okay... But it looks like, that in this case, the someone who creates
this system is going to be YOU for everyone else, rather than someone
else for you to be one of the others.
No, we'll keep using Windows on the desktop until someone makes a usable
replacement that doesn't take massive customization. For the same
reasons that we wouldn't build cars from parts.
