    It’s the usual problem: if your employer IT refuses to budge, you get locked into a Windows (or Apple) ecosystem. I had the same. My solution was to remove myself from corporate IT, and use my own device.

    I use workarounds for the interfaces with corporate:

    • MS Teams Linux client (sadly discontinued as of 2022) still works out of a jail, but the browser solution is also tested and ready as backup should I be forced
    • Webmail instead of a proper mail proram - that’s a big trade-off, but I can work with it, as much as it sucks
    • Webex for conferencing (as it works properly with Firefox, contrary to many other solutions)
    • Web portals continue to work - even though sometimes I need a user agent switcher to pretend I am using chrome (fuck you @MS Teams)
