Sure there is, abandon Windows.
Not at work, I can’t.
Sure there is, abandon Work.
I tried to turn in my buckets of thank yous at the bank but they didn't take em. Gonna be windows for now
yup. i'm tied to unreal engine 5.
(yes, i know there's a version for linux. i need to be on windows for the latest updates and work though.)
No, but at work it's someone else's problem. I'm so glad that my employer agreed to replace my Windows machine with a Mac.
Linux for VPN, VM for Windows :p
Why not?
Because work usually does provide the computer and they don’t want you to tamper with it too much.
Just uninstall the OS. If you have physical access then must do what you need to do in order to be productive
Usually the uefi is locked and secure boot is enabled. You could even boot a different OS if you wanted.
You clearly have not worked at most larger companies which have Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) which typically involves not modifying the PC and OS with threat of termination when (not if) discovered.
Because the software we write has to run on windows and only windows. No Linux or wine or any other platform. It’s a fixed requirement from our client and unfortunately I don’t see that changing.
Can't see the desk to write, and no indoor lighting
There's no alternative, Linux doesn't meet my needs as a PC user so I'm stuck with windows.
I guess you'll have to accept your fate.
