Who in their right mind would gpo disable the c drive on a dev workstation...

No one. So the person who did this is not quite right in their mind.

@kescherRant oh .. my boss

That type of bushleague administrivia is one of the reasons I gave up on Windows for dev. Too many easy button pointy clickey tools for know nothings with an A+ cert to ruin my day with.

@SortOfTested With your CompTIA A+ certification you can click your way to victory! Did you finally learn the difference between VGA and DisplayPort? You’re qualified to a domain admin account at a small company that doesn’t know any better! Are you working for a software company with a Linux stack? With your A+ we can guarantee your employer that you’ll blow up your productivity and others just as soon as you get root access!

What blows my mind is I literally got laughed at when I said I would like to dev using Linux as my daily driver

@Diactoros right now CompTIA is at it again opposing right to repair. Having a shitty certificate seems to qualify you for micro soldering and makes 3rd party repair "obsolete".
