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.
At an IT-related business, I had a colleague reformat and install Ubuntu after he foolishly clicked on something he shouldn’t and compromised Windows on his machine. The rest of us weren’t affected and stayed on Windows, but I did feel a twinge of guilt that maybe I ought to have done the same (Installed Linux, that is, not clicked on malware).
For the work we were doing there was almost nothing that didn’t have a Linux equivalent, so it didn’t affect him much if at all.
For the rare exceptions, we had a virtual desktop server, which had existed prior to any of that, because we occasionally needed very old versions of software that would conflict with the modern versions on people’s PCs.
This was all over a decade ago though, so it’s hard to determine whether the same circumstances would have the same result.
