I’m wondering how this actually works. I don’t think our IT team would ever allow it, but even if they did, you’d have to be able to run everything M$ (Teams, excel, etc), onedrive/sharepoint, windows specific software like CAD, Bluebeam, use Chrome-only software like Autodesk stuff -

It seems kind of dumb to even do that, since you’d be locked into that M$ ecosystem anyway. But I’m curious if anyones done it.

    Yup, routinely use different techniques to run Linux on my work laptop. I’ve been at places where they have official support for Linux distros, with AD integration through services like sssd. I’ve also been at places where running a virtual Linux machine was possible, others where I was allowed to unlock secure boot temporarily to be able to to add a new signed binary for a Linux distro, running on a USB stick.
