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.

I understand the rationale behind you doing this, I've done it myself.
Your company sends you abroad for a week or two. You want to access your Netflix account but don't want to do it on the company computer. On the other hand you don't want to carry two laptops with you.
As others have said, tampering company hardware can get you in trouble with the IT department, and it's enough to get you fired in some cases.
If you value your job get permission to do it or get yourself a tablet.
