There are at least dozens of us doing this. My $5k bloated corporate laptop sits in my office 24/7. The 25% of time I’m traveling is with a $300 Chromebook with Linux Mini, a Bluetooth mouse, and logged into to a Windows VM.

Now that everything corporate is forced into the cloud, using a VM doesn’t carry all the extra downsides it used to.

and the bonus is that, when the workday is done, I have a machine I actually own and can use without breaking policy.
