This is corporate talk, no ones work station is going to be running Linux anytime soon.

Oh yeah everyone, tell me where you work with Linux?

I am fully on Linux - daily usage, gaming and working.

Our company doesnt usually allow linux other than our products. If we run a linux machine they want us to run this funky command that opens a backdoor for them lol after all the yearly trainings about how we arent supposed to do sketchy things like that. We still use linux machines because our windows machines are so locked down we cant do much with them but dont tell IT

Corporate IT requires a backdoor on all systems, the only thing sticking out is how automated they can make that on windows and macOS. And they do need that backdoor, so that they can check on and force patches so that you don’t end up with anyone else’s backdoor. Pretty reasonable when you really think about it.

Pretty crazy that my company does similar with Macs. When I started, my manager assigned me a Windows laptop, but it is so locked down that you can’t do anything technical. I eventually insisted on the Mac and life is easier simply because they let you do more

Nobody's Steam Deck is gonna run Windows any time soon.

Large ISP, in the global operations computing department. I am an exception to the rule though. I mostly touch network gear and *NIX servers so I'm not limited to Linux but I will say most of our *NIX stuff is RHEL now and doesn't even boot past run level three so it's all CLI.
