Well, first they are lying to you. You don’t have to hand out certificates manually and that isn’t how Intune does it either. They are provisioned using SCEP generally, which has its own security drawbacks. You can get these certificates from a SCEP server using a tool like Certmonger.

Most companies that say they don’t officially support Linux already have you sign an acceptable-use agreement to only use company-provided hardware and approved software. And while they may act like they’ll make a special exception for you, you better make sure you got it in writing and in a way that would comply with your other employment agreements. One thing most IT employees don’t have the privilege of is negotiating the legal terms of their employment. There are already multiple US cases of employees being criminalized for breaking their employer’s AUP.

I wish you the best of luck, but feel like you’re prob in for a harsh reality.

You can use Wi-Fi certificates on Linux without needing Intune. Is the real issue here that your workplace doesn’t want to give you the info you need to use Linux?

What would having Intune offer you personally? Are you a smart Linux user or barely know enough to be dangerous?

Go to your IT department or management and tell them you want to use Linux for work if that is what you want, and if they say no then make up your mind if you’re willing to become a braindead zombie for the company, or if you’d rather be doing something actually useful and meaningful with your time.

Won’t be long before politicians give them permission to start killing Americans on America soil for being against genocide

Such a security risk though, but still better than curling scripts into sudo

Windows permissions can be tricky… I’ll give them that. A lot of the tools Microsoft provides are not very straightforward.

However, PowerShell and tools from Sysinternals suite, or open source tools as well, make it a lot easier.

Managing permissions on Linux, especially if doing the ACL thing, can be complicated too. I’ve really never ran into many permission issues myself. psexec has been helpful too when needing to access things as the SYSTEM user and not get those stupid prompts asking me to change permissions for protected folders.

Andrew is not very smart. Windows isn’t very good, but he is very clueless. There are legitimate things to complain about, but Andrew just complains.

It means that questioning decisions or problems is seen as negative in the community generally and that everyone else must be wrong for not using NixOS.

As I used to say. The Nix community acts more like a cult of people willing to support flat earth.

And yet Trump still sounded more cognizant even if he was lying.

It was him showing America how much he cares about women’s rights, equality, & democracy. So much he’s willing to put us at a significant risk of losing those things for decades if not longer. God, I can only hope something causes Kamala to become the candidate or he steps aside for someone else.

The US House of Representatives just passed a bill that can make calling Jewish people nazis a hate crime.

I use Hyrpland, and so there are times where I need to use GTK or Qt tools. I generally don’t like KDE-based tools though because they are dependency-heavy.

So does many of the GTK tools though… so, again… why use Qt at all if you want to save memory.

I like some of LXQt tools, but at one point do you decide if you’re going to use Qt… why not just go all out and use KDE?

Why is it that it seems like Gnome seems to be implementing Windows bad practices? The last thing Linux needs is a Windows registry. One of the greatest benefits of Linux IMO is the ability to configure applications in config files… not having to use some custom tool to manage the configuration.

You summed it up better than I ever could. I’d give you lemmy gold if that was a thing.

Great… now if AMD actually cares about virtualization, maybe they can stop limiting virtual GPUs to their enterprise GPUs. Damn monopolies really don’t want to see consumers have full virtualization support for Windows on Linux.
