At $DAY_JOB our Windows laptops are locked down and supported.

Linux & macOS people have zero support (outside hardware, corp VPN) and the password to the local admin account (thankfully Jamf does not reset sudoers file)

As more developers/operators opt for Linux or macOS I'm surprised support hasn't been expanded.

Exactly how we started down this path.

We were an open macOS shop acquired by major locked down Windows using corporation. Started with nothing, slowly Jamf -> Intune -> Intense Corporate MDM Controls.

Out of habit (and corporate experience) I default to ~/.local/ where possible in case lockdown happens at some point in the future.
