    Way to go and I’m with you. Years ago, we were all forced to switch to Windows due to an acquisition - locked down with Bit locker so you couldn’t even use the USB ports.

    I purchased a copy of VMware, installed Linux on the guest operating system, and did my work from there.

    The heavy e-commerce platform I was running in the guest Linux OS, ran faster than in the host Windows OS. I believe Windows was 20 to 30% slower.

    Also in the guest Linux OS, I was able to use all the USB ports. It was beautiful.

    Others in my office started doing the same thing.

    I like to ask in job interviews if Linux is an option.

    Glad you got a great setup!
