Ask HN: Why not permit use Linux laptop for work
hi,
Am a freelance enterprise engineer,mostly work with enterprise.
I am already aware of the fact about security implications of allowing employees to use their personal electronics.
I would really appreciate if the client allows me to use my own laptop i.e personal linux laptop and connect to work network using their own vpn service which would still make the machine compatible with the security policy.
Unfortunately none of the clients i worked till date allowed this except one.
Is there any other specific reason for not allowing freelance engineer to use their own machine.
