Have you been able to? Even though I've mostly worked in backend APIs that run in containers on Linux, I haven't been able to switch my work machines to Linux since they have required company VPNs and SSO stuff installed
Edit: the only place I was able to use Linux was a startup environment but the company was bought out and I was forced to switch to Windows
I just recently joined a company that offers two options for operating systems, Mac or Linux. Windows is explicitly not allowed. Seeing that in my onboarding paperwork was like walking into a warm sunny meadow.
Damn, that's the dream ❤️
