Is Ubuntu compliant?
In the corporate world ? Generally not, because IT can't force group policy out using AD.
One of the biggest hurdles, and one of the only reasons Windows is still alive. Linux doesn't have a decent AD alternative.
I think I heard some very large governments, maybe Germany, was going to completely abandon Windows soon. This will generate a ton of demand for an AD alternative so I'm excited to see what happens.
Until then you have ansible, or salt may be more suitable for workstations 🤷
Oh there is policy, telemetry and lockdown software for Linux. My BYOD archlinux worked fine until a company I contract for rolled out their zero trust bollocks. They wanted me to install Ubuntu, Redhat or SLES and their spyware.
They now sent me a corporate Win11 laptop for remote access.
