This is a hot topic.
I always refused to use company devices for so many reasons, it's a device not managed by me exposing my home network to risks I wouldn't otherwise have.
I use Linux and will always use Linux.
It's a gaming laptop(office laptop are overpriced and weak) with high performance memory, 8/16 CPU, 2x NVMe.
Any task performed on it takes a blink of eye to complete. No special tools required other than AWS VPN.
I was given a Windows laptop to use
recently that I'm yet to finish setting it up.
It's slow asf, it's Windows so there are 3 or so business security software to "protect it", the boot will take 1min vs 10s, to install Windows Subsystem for Linux on it was a pain in the arse.
It just feels wrong and retrocession.
The likelihood of me getting a virus or anything related on my personal Linux PC is minimal close to irrelevant.
The likelihood of me getting a virus or anything related on that Windows laptop w all those security software in place plus exposing my home network is 99.99%.

- mango7283 2y agoYes you're very special but most of the time I promise you it is the other way around and many many enterprise breaches have been because an employee got a keylogger on their personal device that they synced credentials to or used for work.
