Way to go and I’m with you. Years ago, we were all forced to switch to Windows due to an acquisition - locked down with Bit locker so you couldn’t even use the USB ports.
I purchased a copy of VMware, installed Linux on the guest operating system, and did my work from there.

Others in my office started doing the same thing.
I like to ask in job interviews if Linux is an option.
