Well, first they are lying to you. You don’t have to hand out certificates manually and that isn’t how Intune does it either. They are provisioned using SCEP generally, which has its own security drawbacks. You can get these certificates from a SCEP server using a tool like Certmonger.

Most companies that say they don’t officially support Linux already have you sign an acceptable-use agreement to only use company-provided hardware and approved software. And while they may act like they’ll make a special exception for you, you better make sure you got it in writing and in a way that would comply with your other employment agreements. One thing most IT employees don’t have the privilege of is negotiating the legal terms of their employment. There are already multiple US cases of employees being criminalized for breaking their employer’s AUP.

I wish you the best of luck, but feel like you’re prob in for a harsh reality.

You can use Wi-Fi certificates on Linux without needing Intune. Is the real issue here that your workplace doesn’t want to give you the info you need to use Linux?

What would having Intune offer you personally? Are you a smart Linux user or barely know enough to be dangerous?

Go to your IT department or management and tell them you want to use Linux for work if that is what you want, and if they say no then make up your mind if you’re willing to become a braindead zombie for the company, or if you’d rather be doing something actually useful and meaningful with your time.

I feel like no matter what you publish people care more about how they feel than the actual facts.

Such a security risk though, but still better than curling scripts into sudo

This is what NameCheap does too. It’s freaking stupid. Domain registrations should not be managed by corporations.

It means that questioning decisions or problems is seen as negative in the community generally and that everyone else must be wrong for not using NixOS.

As I used to say. The Nix community acts more like a cult of people willing to support flat earth.

They already have, and they can do it in secret and hold people without trial. Once you give someone power, it’s hard to take it away.
