I have not any experience with WatchGuard, but it from some quick searching around it seems to not be far from the easiest to set up for linux. dual-booting is probably the easier solution.

I hope you find a solution to what sounds like not the best life situation, and may you have an otherwise have a nice Linux journey.

Then all I can do is welcome you and wish for you to have a nice journey

1. There is a workaround for installing win 11 with local account, it’s still horseshit
2. the fact that they think that just because they still show ads it’s ok in any way shape or form to collect any personal information is insane
3. don’t forget they are also trying to screen record 24/7 and then store it in the cloud (yes they store it “locally” in you appdata, that they then decided to sync with OneDrive)

Without prodding too much into what VPN you work uses

Most VPN solutions run on linux just fine, even Microsoft PPTP VPN solution works fine. I would probably check with your IT department what protocol they use and any connection caveats (like machine certificates used for authentication) and look into the different VPN solutions (some examples; WireGuard and OpenVPN are very well supported, IPSec (libreswan or strongswan are options here) depends on setup, PPTP/L2TP should work with most setups (I have to admin I havn’t touched those enough), vpnc works with Cisco base IPsec setups and openconnect works with most SSL VPN connection)
