IB Computer Nerds. Using Linux on my personal computer?

I really have no need for Windows other than to practice modeling on Excel. I'm personally tired of it.

Most at-home-work is done via Virtual Machine right? Can I get by running just Linux on my own machine? Yes, I know I can dual-boot.

Somewhat related. If you get approval from the IT homies, will they allow you to download plugins and programs that help improve your workflow on a work machine?
