We allow people to have Linux devices or Macs if they want them but they are not our responsibility to fix if they break. If your laptop won’t connect to the shared drive because it doesn’t support FAT32 or something, that’s your problem to fix.
In the past it would have at least been best endeavours to try and get everything up and running again but the company’s grown too much and the IT department hasn’t so I haven’t got time to do anything that isn’t strictly speaking my job.
People are always complaining about the IT department but generally the issue is that the IT department is under funded and understaffed.
Thats great! I’m amazed at companies that would allow this. I cannot imagine ours doing it. Our IT dept hardly knows what Linux even is.

Yeah if you think the guest support for the fs on the physical drive is relevant for a network share you wouldn’t be really useful.
