  • In a large organization, IT team/Organization policy will never allow to let you use Linux as your OS unless it is required for project or mandated by client.

    With ransomware attacks on ever rise, IT will always try to control all aspects of your office laptop/desktop. As they think they got it sorted for Windows, they will fight tooth and nail if you ever submit it ticket to get your OS replaced with Linux without project requirements.

    In my view, as long as I’m allowed to install whatever on my personal devices even while working from home, I’m fine.

    Office devices aren’t really my property. For me, Windows during office hours, and Linux thereafter.












  • No, not really true, IMO.

    If all distros come together and agree on a single package format (e.g. deb), then if arch makes a package available in .deb, it can be downloaded and installed on Ubuntu or Fedora, as it becomes an universal package format like flatpak.

    Currently we have to compile the source code in such situations.
