    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.

      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.

      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

        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.

          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.

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