    I’m a freelancer. Cause I had to run from my country that decided to start a war for some reason. And let me tell you - no one wants to hire a migrant from russia. So yeah, upper mentioned company won’t provide hardware for freelancers, but as alternative they do provide azure virtual desktop - which sucks and also doesn’t work on linux (due to how ms implemented auth via their token).

    I can request asylum and live on government support, will probably get a rejection in the long term tho, cause according to EU and other countries - russia clearly is a safe country to live.

      Fair enough. Though I still feel that a company either provides the device and can enforce policies, or they don’t and they can’t.

      You have my sympathies for your situation ( though I am aware that doesn’t help you very much :( )
