Might have to try this…

• Get a load of this!
• All Systems, Full Power!
• Oh! I hate that Sonic! He always seems to get in my way!

It’s written like a deliberate parody of people like him, it’s so ludicrous.

Well, best of luck. I guess worst case, if you can’t figure out any other options, you could always try running a windows vm just for the remote access piece. You’ve got to hold onto that WFH while you’ve got it.

If this is an expected method of access, maybe just reach out to support about it. Let them solve it for you.

Probably doesn’t need to be said, but make sure doing this won’t get you in trouble at work. Most enterprises would likely consider this a security issue, and most larger ones actively monitor what software is installed on workstations.
Edit: I see now you say this is commonplace where you work.

I think your example of following along with a tutorial is a good one. Why not do that again, but look up everything that’s recommended along the way, so that you understand what you’re doing? It’ll take longer, but it will be more fulfilling and build more knowledge. Plus, you can always deviate from the tutorial a little to make the project your own.
