Ubuntu now available from the Windows store

This is normal corporate IT on windows. The biggest battle I have is with operations teams who require that you don't have administrative privileges on windows dev machines. This cripples development teams instantly because you just can't do that.

I tried to push the organisation I work with currently in that direction but they haven't quite got over the Stockholm syndrome of being a Microsoft certified partner yet or admit that a lot of infrastructure and platform investments were bad ones now.

I'd take low stress and good pay over most things ;)

Fortunately I do not have this battle. But if I did, I would simply tell operations boss that unless my developers get admin access in their dev environment, they have to have staff dedicated to my team, ready 24/7/365 to serve them. Weekends, holidays, christmas - all the time, no exceptions.
