    I would love to use Linux on my work PC but our IT is too lazy to figure out how to put their corporate spyware on it.

      I used Linux for my work PC for a year and had endless problems. If it was my personal pc that would be fine but I was wasting time that I should have been using to complete my work, instead spending that time debugging constantly changing problems

          I think you’re born either able to use Linux trouble free or able to use Windows trouble free

        Mine has been super smooth as a workstation for 7 years. But I think that is the fragmentation issue with Linux. I chose a distro based off of a corporate one and random dude uses Hannah Montana Linux expecting same results.

          True, the solutions people would give to my problems almost always involved installing a new disro, and usually it was a different distro in each answer

          In my spare time nobody is going to ask me to justify why I delayed a meeting by 10 minutes because my screenshare wasn’t working

            Fair enough. I feel like both of my time, working and spare, is worth more than fiddling with Linux. I want to use my computer when I want to use it. Not fight it.

          Ssshh. Let’s not give away that little hint - there may be bosses present.

          I learned Linux on the boss’ dime and it created tons of career opportunities.

      As someone that both runs Linux at home as a daily driver and runs an infrastructure and ops team for a company.

      The threats against the two are totally different and modern businesses need things like detection and response capabilities. Most of which don’t have Linux desktop counterparts.
