I had two options at work.

Mac or Windows 11.

I was told the same at multiple jobs and just asked kindly that they spend the money on a linux compatible laptop. I had arguments to back my statement up too. It worked out.

YMMV

Good luck (if you want to go down this path and haven't become a farmer yet).

oh I asked. this is a big company with 6-8k employees.

the answer was always, "no".

looking for my plot, though I might just become a fur trapper instead of a farmer.

That explains it, yeah. Companies of that size often aren't open for change unless it is top down.

Good luck with the fur trapping. Not sure if there'll be less bugs though ;)
