From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The answer here is very simple. Your employer will find out what you're doing.
So obviously you should be asking them, if anyone. Not us Lemmings.
No they will not?
If they have no secureboot (it seems) and no locked down Bios (for whatever reason) if the person can use the laptop at home and use it with another OS that is fine.
Using it in the company is something different.
You might be surprised how much Intel corp security teams have.
Mind to elaborate?
Intel Management Engine
But are companies using that? Or is it just something intel may use for creepy shit?
So you're reading this as Intel built a way to spy on literally everyone as opposed to Intel built a feature for corp security teams? Interesting.
I just never thought of that. But yeah true point, ME neutering is a blessing and you shouldnt just put Linux on random spyware hardware and think it is private
Coreboot is a blessing
