      No, but at work it’s someone else’s problem. I’m so glad that my employer agreed to replace my Windows machine with a Mac.

        Because work usually does provide the computer and they don’t want you to tamper with it too much.

            Usually the uefi is locked and secure boot is enabled. You could even boot a different OS if you wanted.

            then must do what you need to do in order to be productive

            You clearly have not worked at most larger companies which have Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) which typically involves not modifying the PC and OS with threat of termination when (not if) discovered.

        Because the software we write has to run on windows and only windows. No Linux or wine or any other platform. It’s a fixed requirement from our client and unfortunately I don’t see that changing.
