Counterpoint: Virtualized environment/remote desktop. The real computer is in a data center hundreds of kilometers away with world class fire suppression systems.

Counter counterpoint: If you're virtualized you might be working from home, in which case, that's rough, hope they manage to restore your house.

    With a laggy desktop experience i also can't really configure how i want? No thank you. It's bad enough i have to use Windows for software development instead of letting me install Linux

    I like it because I don't have any of the company's shit on my own machine. I absolutely don't trust them not to spy on my personal computer use if they had access to it. With remote desktop I close it at the end of the work say and it has no more access to my computer than I have access to their critical systems.

    In my case, their shit that we're required to use don't even support Linux so if it wasn't for virtualized environment I'd had to install Windows on my own machine.
