Does anyone actually believe this post??? Because it reads like upvote farming.

We had a new joiner quit on his first day because of this. Didn't even get to eat the burrito he ordered :( So it definitely happens.

Not really. My employer provides win11 too, but I do over 60% of my job on debian machines running in hyper-v. (the other 40% are administrative tasks and work restricted environments)

To be fair they tried posting it on the Linux community on .ml and there were so many upvotes and positive feedback that it crashed the server. So they had to post it again somewhere more balanced to limit the impact.
