A corporate Ubuntu laptop used to be much smoother than a windows 11 laptop in identical hardware.
I guess this is one way for Microsoft to address that...
Lucky, most places I have seen first class for Linux corporate laptops, they have the same IT compliance stuff as everyone else.
Yes, of course they would. I'd still sign up
I can't think of a single true Linux user who will try that.
You are basically installing a spyware within the most secure OS by design.
If you as an user got a Linux operating system compromised, you shouldn't be touching computer.
Well, I would. I'd love to run Asahi on my Mac at work, but can't do it unless I can support AV, AM & DLP etc. This is a step closer to me being able to do that.
Well, that proves it. This the year of the linux desktop!
Meanwhile, I'm very much intending to not install microsoft defender on it.
Simply, why?? Why someone would install Microsoft Defender on Linux?
Enterprise IT compliance.
Yep, this is why.
Insurance. To get insurance you have to show compliance.
I bet they're building a personal defense AI and the early adopters they're hoping for arent on Windows
That's the worst news I've heard all day!
I'm pretty sure it was already available, but now they are expanding the god forsaken things it does?
