From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't necessarily miss it, but the primary reason I can't use Linux as a daily driver at work is because our VPN doesn't work on Linux. So I'd say that. Stupid as fuck that our IT department uses Linux for all of our servers but makes us run Windows.
I had the same issue and use this without any issues: https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect
Well, I am confident it would run on my machine, but how would it do in reporting machine compliance? Because that's the part I can't get past.
I'm not sure. I guess that depends how your IT defines compliance. The code is available for review, which I don't think it is for the official client
