Going from Windows to Linux then back to windows sucks.

Edit; Going through the comments it seems it doesn’t matter so long as IT supports the operating system, which is fair, in my scenario I’m not involved with our systems-management/IT/developers unless it’s an update to the software we use.

My desktop at work is still Windows 10 and while it works, kinda, my keyboard shortcuts are almost entirely different, I’ve encountered numerous moments where switching tab either by alt-tabbing or by the taskbar not working at all forcing me to minimize everything till I find that tab, couple times it wouldn’t even boot.

I started unplugging the Ethernet cable when I leave for work so IT can’t do any behind the scenes when I’m away.

I dredd the day they force a win 11 desktop on me.

    The other commenter is right, my work desktop has access to my home server so I can remotely monitor on my breaks, as well as my password manager.

    Well, that’s your own fault and poor opsec. That’s also a likely breach of your employer’s acceptable use policy in using their equipment for your personal things.

    I know you’re going to say “They don’t care” and that’s probably true - right up until the point when they suddenly do care, or are looking for reasons. It doesn’t matter if your IT are in-house or a MSP, they’re still paid by your employers and so answer to them.

        what difference does it make if it’s through a web browser on the work desktop or my personal tablet.

        Yeah what difference does it make? Why don’t you use your own device?
