Has anyone in a windows dominated workspace actually tried using Linux on their device? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm wondering how this actually works. I don't think our IT team would ever allow it, but even if they did, you'd have to be able to run everything M$ (Teams, excel, etc), onedrive/sharepoint, windows specific software like CAD, Bluebeam, use Chrome-only software like Autodesk stuff -

It seems kind of dumb to even do that, since you'd be locked into that M$ ecosystem anyway. But I'm curious if anyones done it.

I mean... by now probably millions of people have done it. I'm one of them, started in 1997. It was easier then in that for example nobody used "Teams" (it's still the case that nobody should) and it was harder in that Wine was not as good.

    Props to you! Yes, teams is utter shit. All m$ apps are actually. Insanely slow and bloated garbage. I'm not even joking when I say my G4 powermac can run smoother for longer without crashing than my win11 laptop with an i7 and 64 gb of ram. and the g4 is on the original hdd.
