People don't really want to learn how their devices work anymore. Linux is the antithesis of that. Unless it's Android or ChromeOS or any of the other bastardized Linuxes.
Tell me about it. my clients and staff at work use Mac and Chromebook. When even a simple thing doesn't work they literally have massive email chains about what to do. That Amazon outage a few weeks ago was pure comedy
The company I work for is really strict about BYOD. Pretty secure all around really. I have to use a Windows 11 laptop to log in to Citrix to log in to a remote desktop to log in to my Linux servers over ssh.
This is a direct result of Citrix not working on anything other than windows, and being pushed so heavily among corporate leadership. Citrix (last time i deployed is few years ago) required being deployed on winblows, then as a security measure presents certain windows desktop icons (and associated programs) to users based upon the citrix (can be assocaited with AD roles) role. Those users are presented with a windows style desktop, that contains access to the items they were granted by role or specifically.
It started as a lazy version of app sec management, that became a problem to get out of.
I am forced into a W11 (Work provided) laptop, but all I need is to connect to our vpn, to be part of our network, and open my ssh client (I use mobaxterm) to get to my servers. Which I am allowed to have a "management server" in. Justified by what if my laptop crashes... do we want to be out of everything I do, while we wait on a new laptop? So i get a VM I use for everything.
Doesn't Win 11 ship with a windows linux overlay now? I don't know a lot about it but Photronix seems to have articles about it a lot
How can anyone do useful work with only a Chromebook?
Never mind, I answered my own question.
The entire work chain is based around web/site based stuff or using googles suite of services.
