Why is it a good thing that people can’t enjoy the games they like on Linux?

That’s nice.

The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.

I am a Windows admin but two of my colleagues who are Linux admins use Linux machines that are running Ubuntu+a few internal tweaks to make it better fit us. The Linux platform is developed primarily by one of the developers at the company and some others (primarily developers) also use Linux. The vast majority of the company uses Windows.

There are also a few hundred Macs.

I have been considering getting our flavour of Linux installed on a VM or maybe even dual booting for testing.

That applies to most of the drama surrounding Linux.

Suggest a country then

I’m not a designer (I have spared the world from my designs) but I think the Affinity suite is pretty good. It’s not as feature complete as Photoshop but it’s fairly close and the UI is also fairly close.

As they said the app needs ongoing maintenance.

Sure, but I’m just curious because of course a very cheap model is very cheaply constructed.

Also comparing cans to machined aluminium is pretty weird when they are completely different.

What model?

It sounds like a really cheap model.

Do you also backup the files externally? If not you shouldn’t consider them backed up.

Haha, yeah 16 is actually pretty long.

I guess I’m just used to being forced 16 characters long passwords at long.

Consider shortening your passwords. Random passwords longer than 20 characters is a complete waste of time.

What are the requirements?

Maybe you should consider a bigger budget?

Of course but the impact could be much worse if the victim is admin on their computer.

answers.mirosoft.com is the worst. learn.microsoft.com can be decent at times though

I typed it like that with the slim hope that someone would misinterpreted it, lol.

No VNC

Yeah, I’m guessing there are many reasons that they don’t disclose that.
