This is Lemmy after all.
I think I’d get fired if I walked into the office with Debian installed on my work laptop.
Tempting…
When you’ve REALLY had it, you can walk into work with Kali installed on your work laptop. 😎
I work from home using a work provided laptop. One day my partner at the time was working on setting up a Kali machine, and every time they connected to the network my work laptop would cease all network communication. Guess whatever security software/settings my work laptop had was made very nervous by a Kali machine on the same network.
All of our laptops are either Mac or Linux. Eight or ten years ago it was all Mac but now it’s mostly Linux. Ultimately, clients that have closed Windows ecosystems always provide us with laptops or a jump station to connect to. So if they are going to do that anyway, there was no need for us to Windows internally.
I bet that saves you a boatload in senseless licensing costs and lost time dealing with Microsoft’s shenanigans!
I have Arch on my workstation at work, and I love it
(With permission, of course)
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior, Linux?
(I use Arch, btw)
Just… don’t install the update?
…oh right, you don’t actually own your computer under Windows.
We joke / complain about this all the time at work. Boss puts in some drop-everything emergency ticket.
Windows Update: Imma let you finish, but first I gotta do some work 'round here.
You could just set up a scheduled maintenance period. Group policy plus other tools can do it for you.
