IT would give you whatever you wanted. Management insists on windows because reasons. All of my domain controllers and most of my VM's run on KVM/QEMU. All of our digital signs run raspberry pi's. Simple truth is that most shops run windows due to long standing tradition. One they will not question.
Eh, I’m sure it’s some combination of legal’s opinion on risk, purchasing’s contract with Microsoft, and IT’s desire to stop end users from breaking things. At the end of the day, it doesn’t bother me too much
I am IT where I work. It has nothing to do with legal where I work. It just ingrained habit and opinion. I have several linux machines running there now and no one has noticed expect one lady who commented 'it never messes up anymore' in reference to a kiosk they use to look up items. Over the last five years I have improved things there until the only problems I have are windows problems. Killing the microsoft store was a big move forward. Now no local admin actually keeps people from installing programs on their own.
