It even has a POS module?

Anyone tried ODOO? I looked at it in the past but the company went a different direction. Is lack of faith in FOSS solutions generally at the SMB level or do you see it in the enterprise as well?

Below are the Selling and Customer Invoicing sections. I don't know if it accepts payments, but it doesn't appear to be able to produce an invoice.

Their example in the screenshot is Endicott Shoes!! @andyw and @coliver should get that reference.
It was the old Endicott Shoes factory in Endicott, NY from the 1800s that IBM bought and turned into their first factory. IBM Buildings 2 and 3 are the old Endicott Shows factory buildings (Building 1 is the cafeteria and museum, it was always an office and faces the factories across the street.)
@andyw and I worked in the ES buildings!!

As a result of a lack of competence, yes. Generally I find that there is IT level FUD (often from wanting to hide a dependence on rote learning of existing tools, fear of change, etc.) that results in underselling ideas to management who then, in turn, poorly understand software value and can be led to make bad decisions easily.

For Logging, and ELK server should be on this list.

I was at the old IBM campus this summer. It looks like they've leased or sold a lot of their buildings to the local municipality.

Right, the facilities were massive. It was fairly impressive to walk around.

I used to have to go between engineering (farthest western building on campus) and those big manufacturing floors. It was something like 2.5 miles indoors distance!

Here is ELK for those wondering.

I've been looking at Observium a bit. Haven't used it yet.
-
Here is a sample Sales Order for a $200 computer, there are more fields below the second picture. Custom Details Notes etc.

Don't forget about LibreOffice.

@Reid-Cooper Good point.
That is almost a given for an Open Source Desktop environment.

Almost, but there is a small but very serious competitor too: Calligra Suite

We almost forgot OpenVPN and ZeroTier.

Of course there is a huge selection of desktop and laptop Operating systems to choose from. As Scott mentioned there's Linux Mint. There's also the entire Ubuntu Family including Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and for a very Windows Feeling version ChaletOS among many other Debian/Ubuntu variants.
There's also CentOS, Fedora, Suse and OpenSuse as the other top contenders.
