Never said I would, but if I can install it on my work desktop via the Microsoft Store without the need of administration privileges then what’s the harm?
KDE has a proven track record and I’ve already got KDE connect on my work desktop to send files from my phone to the desktop without any issues from up top, plus I’ve spoken with my IT & Managers and got the ok for a Linux distro, but they do make the point of “what if someone else uses your computer” which is fair and is why I’m hesitant for them to switch me to a Linux work station, was thinking dual booting but not sure due to Windows history of wiping EFi boot partitions.
My environment is very much mixed in with shop workers, fitters or welders sit and eat lunch at people’s desk on their breaks, my desk is a common one as I’ve gone in on overtime shifts with people using my desk phone.

why would anyone else use your computer? honest question. and do they need access to your local files, or just a machine?

and yes, we have two lunch rooms.
That sounds like a security nightmare…
The company is probably to cheap to actually do security correctly. (Until they are ransomwared or need to get cyber insurance)
