Ok so it seems the real problem is that your employer does not provide you with the tool you need to perform your work, i.e. a computer. If they did, they would have the responsibility and ability to secure it. By methods which could include installing some auditing software.

It's obviously not really reasonable to expect you to install such things on your private computer. Sounds like there could actually be some legal issues with such practice?

If it was your own choice to use your private computer then that's a different story. But it sounds like it is definitely not by choice.

2021 is the year Linux becomes a mainstream desktop OS right? ;-)

Except I have been running Linux on desktops since 1999. I have Debian server that has been regularly updated since 2000 (that includes hardware changes and moving OS image from HDD to HDD and finally to SSD).

The fact that you are a long-time user doesn't make it mainstream though. Sorry. I'm with you in hoping for that to change!
