I’m liking the recent posts about switching to Linux. Some of my home machines run Linux, and I ran it on my main laptop for years (currently on Win10, preparing to return to Linux again).
That’s all fine and dandy but at work I am forced to use Windows, Office, Teams, and all that. Not just because of corpo policies but also because of the apps we need to use.
Even if it weren’t for those applications, or those policies, or if Wine was a serious option, I would still need to work with hundreds of other people in a Windows world, live-sharing Excel and so on.
I’m guessing that most people here just accept it. We use what we want at home, and use what the bossman wants at work. Or we’re lucky to work in a shop that allows Linux. Right?
I use an M2 Caddy with a 1TB NVME SSD to boot into Aurora Linux on my work laptop.
The laptop keeps it’s Windows license intact and when I need to move to a new laptop, it’s plug and
playwork.CUPS works with every printer in my office out of the box.
I am the user with less IT support tickets, I don’t require Windows, Office nor Adobe licenses.
IT is happy, I’m happy. Every day is pure bliss.
Why would the “Windows license” get affected by whatever it on the disk?
Also how your sysadmins keeping the uefi unlocked?
M2 Caddy?
