Hot take: your desire to run your choice of OS on your work laptop does not trump my desire to ensure the safety of data belonging to our users

@mjg59 what if my efficiency diminishes a lot with any OS choice given by the company (or you in this case)?
Should this at least be a reason for you to make it work reasonably safe but not just "take this OS and none other"?

@littlefox @mjg59 Efficiency is, usually, the employer's concern. If my employer is happy to pay me for 10 hours of business-value-delivering work and 30 hours of fighting with OS config, why should I be unhappy to accept?

(If it gets in the way of personal growth and future career prospects, then sure. But very many things can get in the way of that too.)

@geofft @mjg59 because it's extremely frustrating to want to work on actual stuff and not being able too as efficient as I'm used to
