Basically title. Do you know of any companies that use desktop Linux?

I can think of two in my area in Brisbane - Adfinis and Red Hat. Both have a pretty small presence here from what I last heard (several employees each).

My employer allows the Linux team to use Linux but it’s discouraged and our lives are made somewhat difficult.

    register hours in Windows. We also all have iPhones that we only use for 2FA.

    Without background information that sounds kind of insane. Switching to alternative time tracking software and getting YubiKeys or alternatives instead for 2FA would’ve saved so much money as well as time every day.

      I’m assuming they meant that they were company phones, and that additionally they were required for any work related MFA requirements.

      If that’s the case, it would be YubiKey in addition to, not instead of.

      As for the time tracking software, those are often part of a much larger accounting, payroll, and/or HR software suite. Having his team spin up Windows vms, or even have separate older windows boxes somewhere, probably makes more financial sense than not. At least, until they can switch to a more modern suite that has a web portal.
