Is it because it's a work device ? Because except if you're not the admin of your machine, VLC will run on any potato.

And even if you can't install it on a locked-down device, there's a portable version, too. Install on any removable media (from another machine, to be fair) and it will run from USB without installation.

So should I run it directly on the potato or run the portable version from a thumb drive inserted into the potato?
