  • Unless your company’s IT department specifically setup the drives on the local network to be accessible from other OS’s then Windows, you won’t be able to connect to them, without setting up Samba/CIFS.

    As others have status, if you are allowed to use Linux as a company device, ask your IT department how to access the company stuff. If you are not really allowed and are just doing, you probably won’t have access to much that is not a webapp.






  • Before doing so, though, I wanted to ask if there was any formal policy or rule for the community that could help cut down on thr spam, and if so, what would be most useful for me to do when I see a spam post? That I’d, is the Report button the right tool, is there some other way to let moderators know?

    Rule 7 as stated in the sidebar of this community: “No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.”

    So yes. Use the report tool and downvote it to oblivion.





  • I think the problem with Linux in the workplace is that it’s hard (read harder than Windows and MacOS) to setup to be managed devices. Especially if the company is a Microsoft shop to begin with. The IT security teams just don’t know how to enforce the company policies on Linux machines. Enforce password policy, network credentials and managed apps. It easy with Intune for Windows and Mac. Much harder on Linux.

    That’s the reason I was given by my work place, when I was “forced” to switch from Linux to Windows.
