    I feel you. I wish I wasn’t supporting 3500 windows endpoints but that’s the job. Refuse to use that shit at home though except for gaming. Luckily my home windows 10 has all that dumb shit slipstreamed out. I use a Mac or iPad for most other stuff.

      You can support a Windows domain and tons of endpoints from Linux. I know. My work PC runs Arch, btw.

      xfreerdp is much better than mstsc.exe

        Welcome to the real corporate world where we have teams of people and good luck trying to get your help desk to support Linux, they can’t even figure out Macs

          I doubt my helpdesk staff will support my PC. I manage the company including helpdesk PCs from my PC.

          It will probably be last PC working when the dummies in that department manage to get spearfished and all windows boxes are encrypted.
          There’s not a lot you can do against idiots with Domain Admin credentials other than off-site backups (on a non AD joined Linux PC of course).
