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.

The company supplies the devices. The ecosystem of choice is not my problem.

My work devices get turned off before I leave and stay in my backpack until I'm back on site.

Just because your workplace uses the MS ecosystem doesn't mean that you are locked into it. Your workplace is locked into the MS ecosystem. It's really not your problem.
