Has anyone in a windows dominated workspace actually tried using Linux on their device? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm wondering how this actually works. I don't think our IT team would ever allow it, but even if they did, you'd have to be able to run everything M$ (Teams, excel, etc), onedrive/sharepoint, windows specific software like CAD, Bluebeam, use Chrome-only software like Autodesk stuff -

It seems kind of dumb to even do that, since you'd be locked into that M$ ecosystem anyway. But I'm curious if anyones done it.

I think the biggest challenge isn’t Linux itself, but the software and workflows people are already used to. Once the right alternatives are available, the transition can be much easier than people expect.
