I work in a corporation with an IT-department that is all in on whatever Microsoft is offering. My team has for some time gotten more and more autonomy in tooling as IT is overloaded and forced to relinquish some control, but we still rely on them for supplying compliant machines that have access to our resources.
I requested a Linux machine just over 5 months ago, and I finally got it this week. It is running Ubuntu with GNOME, not my first choice, but the only thing that is Microsoft Intune compliant as far as I know.
So far it is such a relief. A better specced machine with less bloat running on it. It should be far between any OOM-issue I get now… Slightly annoying having to use Edge for any service requiring corporate SSO, but I’ll swallow that pill…
Teams actually has Linux builds on the AUR. Obviously they are wrapping the web version, but it does integrate much more nicely with the GUI. I’m running the version that uses your already installed electron. I don’t have to use chrome for teams, which is the real upside for me.
