This excuse is so dumb for many reasons. Provide me the source and I will make my own package if needed.
The same excuse is used to make terribly performing video games.. Just buy a better graphics card if you want to run <any modern game> at over 60fps!
What about EndeavourOS?
What about Arch?
So why?
Facebook does the same, even in their own in-app browser to keep tracking you.
So why are they hiding it by changing the link with client-side code? Might not be nefarious, but why?

For some reason our business policy doesn't allow us to use the web versions..
Ubuntu is very popular in businesses cus it's Debian but with official enterprise support (I strongly dislike both though).
Luckily all my work is in WSL2 Arch terminal with tmux, so it's bearable, but I miss my rice setup so much!
Yes! I'm so close to being able to switch the office PC to Linux. I only really use Outlook and Teams, everything else is in a terminal.
Now to convince Security that I don't need their intrusive logging and scanning crap..
I was around 18 when I started, so doing nonsensical things was my area of expertise at the time. That helps a bit with the feeling of time waste.
Still, it was not a complete waste, because now I can fix any such problems in minutes, and I always carry an archiso drive on me (which I used maybe once in the past 5 years to fix somebody else's PC which wasn't even running Arch).
I will say, without exaggerating, recovering from Windows boot issues has caused me WAY more issues over the years. It doesn't tell you what's actually wrong, you don't get much in terms of tools, and so it's much harder to fix unless you want to completely reinstall Windows (which apparently is a good idea to do regularly too..).
My ego isn't that big..
I chose Arch (in 2011) because
I do catch myself saying "just read the manual", but not in a hostile way I think. When you're already in a terminal, once you get used to manuals, it's very accessible and it's quick to get what you need.
However, that usually requires you to know what you're looking for quite specifically, and that is something you can only learn through experience and study.
I'm very happy with my choice and the whole "you can easily fuck up your system" thing also works in reverse - you can just as easily fix your system. I've made a few mistakes over the years but nothing that I couldn't reverse. Just make sure you're not fiddling with partitions and boot loaders during work hours..
The car accelerated to 80mph in its own? At least it's partly responsible..
Yup! Boot time is the worst. My Windows 10 (dual boot) takes at least 5x longer to reach desktop, and then it's still initializing all kinds of bs. Like networking takes at least 10-15s to work after I reach the desktop.
The installation is very clean as I only use it for two video games. They're on the same NVMe SSD.
