I feel you. I wish I wasn’t supporting 3500 windows endpoints but that’s the job. Refuse to use that shit at home though except for gaming. Luckily my home windows 10 has all that dumb shit slipstreamed out. I use a Mac or iPad for most other stuff.

I work at an MSP and it has made me hate Windows with a passion. I don't even want to look at my own computer when I get home. I do almost everything I need to at home on my phone (a pixel 7) and I game on my PS5, switch, and I will be getting a Steamdeck at some point soon.

I adore my steam deck! I play it at home more than my gaming PC because I can be on the couch with my partner instead of another room. Luckily when I do game on my PC I never have to mess with windows, it’s just opening steam and picking something.

I'm saving up for a fence for my yard and a new patio roof, because those take precedence over fun shit. After that I'm gonna get a steam deck. I wanted to get one with my Xmas bonus, but I had vet bills for my puppy and I was out of work for two months due to an injury.

You can support a Windows domain and tons of endpoints from Linux. I know. My work PC runs Arch, btw.

xfreerdp is much better than mstsc.exe

Welcome to the real corporate world where we have teams of people and good luck trying to get your help desk to support Linux, they can’t even figure out Macs

I doubt my helpdesk staff will support my PC. I manage the company including helpdesk PCs from my PC.

It will probably be last PC working when the dummies in that department manage to get spearfished and all windows boxes are encrypted.
There's not a lot you can do against idiots with Domain Admin credentials other than off-site backups (on a non AD joined Linux PC of course).
