Why don't you trust your macs since 2014. Also why do you still use them if you don't trust them any longer?

Work only allows Mac or Win to log in to their VPN.

Change your work then. Or use windows in a VM. Always good to separate work and private system anyway.

They provide a mac. I will exit at some point.

Not OP, but for me the answer to your question is: is a tool I need. I _could_ use Windows, and absolutely not Linux/BSD (for the programs/tools I need for work), and, frankly, I don't think Windows is better.

Yes, I know that's not completely true. I _could_ use Linux (I even used Solaris on a notebook for 2 years in the past and I survived) but the cost in terms of effort, lost productivity would be higher than I'm ready to pay. It's a rational choice.

Are you sure of this? Wine (or Proton for graphics stuff) is pretty good.
