    For experimental use, test lab situations, or very special-purpose tasks, Fedora [Linux] is an excellent choice. We are almost exclusively a CentOS shop for our production stuff, but in labs, we take more risks with things like Ubuntu or Fedora. It's not as appropriate as CentOS for production level endeavors, but it lets us know "this is where we could be going" when we engage in r&d tasks.

    iOS works well when you want solid control over institutionally-owned devices. This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it]. There is a wide variety of management tools, but bear the costs of each in mind.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Stability. It's good, but it's not anything like CentOS for stability
    • End-user usability. It has a few glaring holes here and there with UI/UX

    • Replacing the battery is hard and shouldn't be.
    • I know it is for security, but the ability to remote control iOS and help users would be great.
    • Security can be tight with the iCloud and passcodes and you can brick a phone if you are not careful.

    The desktop environments are all well configured out of the box. The software selection is useful, but not bloated. With flatpak integration, getting the latest software is easy. If there is anything that I can't immediately figure out, the documentation is thorough and well written, and the community is always happy to step in and assist.

    In all likelihood, common users will either already have experience with iOS on their iPhones, or will pick it up quickly. The UI is generally simple and mostly visual. Power users, on the other hand, may feel constrained by the inherent limitations built-in. Root access, terminal commands, and deep customization are not really to be found here.

    Lots of help articles online for just about everything under the sun. I have never personally had to engage Apple's support team to comment on their helpfulness.

    I prefer Fedora over Debian because Fedora tends to be more up to date. When compared to Ubuntu, Fedora is nice as it doesn't use snap, and remains open. When I tried Kubuntu, I found the distro to be a bit too unstable for my liking.

    The software updates have a wide coverage for iPhone models and I love updating software for additional features and/or improved software stability. It has also genuine feel of the phones they offer. Easier to set up and use. It helps me do more productive tasks. If I have the latest phone model, I would have additional software advantages that are already included in my OS.

    • Positive as far as cellular usage, phone tracking, and security for our users.
    • Negative as far as battery replacement on older phones.
    • Costs would be similar to android phones so security/simplicity is our main point here.
