The computers in my house are mostly Linux

1. Fedora desktops for my wife and myself
2. Fedora KDE laptops for the kids
3. Alma for the various servers
4. Hell, I've got Linux running on a couple of the old tablets, even.

Work laptop is the only exception - it's win11 and intune-managed, and it slows me down every day. Fortunately, I'm half of the department that manages, among other things, the intune and entra stuff - so as long as I can switch without losing all the compliance stuff, I'm golden. Unfortunately, intune portal for linux is a giant piece of dogshit, so i still havent been able to switch.

Try to enroll, it throws a security error - unenrolled devices aren't allowed to access anything. Yes, there's an exception for intune portal. No, that exception doesn't extend to intune portal for linux.

Add an exception for the Linux version of intune and finally get the device enrolled. Success! Reboot into Windows to copy some files over, then reboot back into linux, now the device isn't enrolled anymore. And re-enrolling doesn't work, for some reason.

Check intune console, device shows up as unmanaged and not enrolled, because there aren't any Linux compliance policies available to attach to the device. Try to add a compliance policy for Linux, and that isn't an allowed policy type for linux devices.

I've probably spent 30 hours on this whole thing, over the last 3 months. Fuck you Microsoft. Supported on Linux, yeah right.
