Anyone using Intune (Company Portal) by Microsoft on their work laptops?
Hi there!
A bunch of us at work have been looking at getting Intune running on our Linux machines, this is needed to get Wi-Fi access at work. While there is a guide on getting this on Linux - the requirements are strictly limiting this to RedHat and Ubuntu and Gnome only. Has anyone here had any success with setting this up? Was it difficult?
I tried myself just once last week, but on Aurora (KDE), via a RHEL distrobox, and assumed it failed due to my main system not having gnome-keyring installed(?) as the terminal would spit out "gnome-keyring" a couple of times when launching Intune. Was gonna try with RHEL myself during this week, but wanted to hear here first if anyone has had any success with this at all before i attempt to get it running.
Appreciate any response on this :)

I got it running on Kubuntu 24.04 by adding older repos for the dependencies and installing seahorse for the keyring.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing :)
If you want to go this route - make sure there's a default keyring in seahorse, and you set a password for it :)
I tried with a debian testing and couldn't get intune UI to communicate with intune backend, I think (thanks to the cryptic error messages)
I installed a fresh ubuntu 22 LTS, as per the doc, and could get past this point, only to encounter the conditional access restriction policy from my company.
What would having Intune offer you personally? Are you a smart Linux user or barely know enough to be dangerous?
Go to your IT department or management and tell them you want to use Linux for work if that is what you want, and if they say no then make up your mind if you're willing to become a braindead zombie for the company, or if you'd rather be doing something actually useful and meaningful with your time.
Intune is the only way for us to get Wi-Fi certificates(AFAIK), that's why it's needed. On windows it's baked in or whatever, but obviously not on Linux.
