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.

Our office is slowly moving towards it. They just don't call it Linux/Unix.

Our servers got cheaper so its just Debian. People use the office phones so its just Android/iOS for a lot of work out in the field. Only the office workers really use Windows now. Even our IIS servers are starting to get decommissioned. A LOT of things are going SaaS/cloud so theres less need of a dedicated anything at an office. Ironically Microsoft kinda did this to themselves.

Linux gets popular when people dont call it Linux.
