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.

    I know you’re going to say “They don’t care” and that’s probably true

    Yup, my boss an president are relatively chill until it starts effecting production.

    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.

    What the hell do you mean, my fault? If I’m on my 30 minute unpaid break I’m going to monitor my homelab on my free time regardless, what difference does it make if it’s through a web browser on the work desktop or my personal tablet.

    An HTTPS request to a known and restricted server won’t bring the end to the company.

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