  • I know what you mean, at work right now when you run Linux they don’t give you support but they also don’t enforce any of the bullshit but skill give you VPN access to the work resources.

    On win and Mac they dust disabled USB storage access and there is a to other bullshit going in TN the name of security while everyone uploads their code to openai or anthropic because they’re pushing for it

    So now I am hidden from IT, when those Sanitized Linux ditros start showing up they will build in the same bullshit as they have from win and Mac now and then I’m fucked, because they will force me to use them

















  • Congrats! For me it also has bin godsend that the company allowwes Linux for developers as an exception. In my case it also means that you yourself are responsible for everything yourself, backup, upgrades, security, etc. The only thing they make sure is that the Cisco VPN is also working (it’s shitty but anyway) with Linux.

    But that is exactly what I want. They do offer a corporate Ubuntu image, which I used one time but hated it, so I blasted it and installed Arch (btw.).

    I still need to run MS office and Teams, but I do that in the Browser (have to use Chromium for it because it doesn’t work well in Librewolf). But like you say, those pills are much easier to swallow compared to winning Windows 11 on a daily basis, especially as a IT professional.
