Most companies don't permit Linux as a desktop.

In most orgs, you'll see Windows and the sysadmins and devs will have LOCAL\administrator, but not LOCAL\SYSTEM. That's usually because developing software(debuggers) or using sysadmin tools is a admin-only thing.

As for me, I do prefer Linux on the desktop proper, with appropriate sudo access for root access. But again, I also do want SELinux on as enforcing, and fapolicyd enabled with good setup. If it's a laptop, I definitely want clevis and tang for enforcing attested and encrypted drives. If my shit is stolen, I dont want to be the vector where everything is stolen.
