In two of my previous jobs (I’m a software engineer) I could officially install any Linux distro to the company laptop (which I did of course) fully replacing the wintoys. Could use the machine as I liked, no corporate mandated BS spyware or anything. On of the provides a SaaS product and used Linux server/virtual machines. Otherwise it was mostly MS bits + sprinkle a little Atlanssian horrors to it.

Unfortunately in my current job I’m limited a VirtualBox Linux running a corporate restricted wintoys machine in a MS environment. A long for the days when I was more productive with my Linux installation.

It’s just sad and funny how corporate world is that MS products it has to be (because reasons).

That’s Firefox’s fault not the plugins. They don’t allow any plugin to run in internal pages.

Not getting updates doesn’t make any app inherently bad. Possible bugs just won’t get fixed. If an app is feature complete and everything works as they should there’s no need to update it.

Are these available on f-droid already?
