I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.

I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.

Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.
