When you pay for Windows you are the product.
When you don't pay for Linux, Linux is the product.
The only thing that keeps me in Windows is the VPN connection to work.
- executesorder66 5y agoWhy do you need windows to connect to a VPN? Does openconnect or openVPN not work?
- Macha 5y agoSeveral VPN applications check for a correctly configured endpoint as a prerequisite to join the VPN. This can involve enforcing OS, OS updates, AV programs, etc. depending on how your system admin has set things up. In such a company performing an end run against this check can get you into trouble
- executesorder66 5y agoInteresting. I'll have to add that to my list of questions to ask companies in an interview. Not being able to use Linux is a total deal breaker for me.
