Depends on what end of the corporate world you are working in. I do industrial automation, and there's no way you are getting out of having a Windows VM at the very least.

For sure. I actually detailed our VDI setup in another thread. We use linux minipcs running VMWare and Win10 IOT LTSC VMs to connect to clients that require Windows or "secured Windows" where they install all sorts of bloatware.
