It doesn’t seem better from the other end too. If I were a boss, I would be uncomfortable with how much unrestricted software from the employee’s life could interact with the company’s. One guy uses a shady build of Windows, and suddenly more than just said guy is affected.

Sorry those people sound like morons.
Work pays for everything for me.
I’m given a top of the line laptop. Im given a credit to buy anything I need to improve my home office. Their tech and purchases are theirs and when I leave, it gets shipped back.
Using personal equipment at your workplace? Triple yikes. If your company does something illegal, your personal equipment gets confiscated by police. If your company’s network gets infected, your personal info like banking/CC gets stolen too.

Further, I’m pretty sure in the USA at least, you’re at risk of anything you develop on that PC that you also used for work being usurped by the company, claiming proprietary ownership of any code you wrote, because it was technically a work computer, and thus, their code, not yours.

Everywhere I’ve worked it didn’t matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you’re in the USA, check your contracts.
