Upvoting this idea, as this is becoming a significant barrier to our Enterprise's adoption and management of Alteryx Designer & Server.
Adding the Windows OS cost on top of each Designer license adds up, and adds additional complexity to managing the environment on which Alteryx works, both for Designer on client machines, and definitely for Server.
Our infra is increasingly moving to the cloud, and is linux/open-source only from an OS perspective, so we're also stuck on-prem with our Alteryx Deployment. This further hampers value and adoption because more and more of our data lives in the cloud. More latency and proxies to navigate = less interest in self-serving analytics with Alteryx, which is a shame because the UI and procedural thinking it engenders are really great.
