Do not, under any circumstances, conduct any private business on it. What isn't being logged by Microsoft and shared with your employer, advertisers, various governments will be screenshot'd every n seconds. Additionally, I highly suggest, if you haven't already, to setup a separate VLAN for this device if you ever bring it home and connect it to your home network. Defender absolutely does passive sniffing and active network scanning now. It will also be collecting and logging visible SSIDs as well. Enjoy!

If they want you to use something specific on your own device then you should be able to request a new device from them

Uh. My condolences. Do they also force you to use the software installed on Windows? Otherwise you could just image Fedora and run it in a virtual machine inside of Windows 11. Technically, I guess that'd fulfill the requirement with Windows 11 on the computer... Just that you don't use it for more than log in, start the Linux VM and expand it full-screen.

As a form of protest create README txt files everywhere that say things like "I wish I was using linux" and "friends don't let friends use windows".

Pressing F to pay my respects.

Sorry to hear that OP.

When old employer was bought out they tried to move us on to windows. It was shit. After non stop issues they gave in and let us keep linux.

Can't you just boot straight into a VM running windows, in your Fedora? Passthrough the hardware.. who's gonna know?

Just cut Windows out as much as possible and run everything in WSL. Setup everything to boot straight to all your WSL layers, and aside from the absolute shit Base OS, it should be the same.

If possible, maybe get a separate machine to throw Windows on and then keep your personal rig on Linux?

@ISolox Don't let them take your freedom to use linux at your home. Use for them, and send the thek to hell after the work.
