Unfortunately, I don't know that Linux handles the bespoke 5k graphics. Moreover, our corp Linux distribution is only certified for particular devices. Even if the screen worked, you wouldn't be allowed on the network, which is the whole problem with Intel support being dropped in the first place.
The network connection isn't the main problem, it's every access to a protected system that would no longer trust the device.
I mean, I can understand defense in depth and not wanting anyway a possible unsafe device connected to the corp network which still might expose some unwanted data (i.e. I imagine a trusted device on the corporate LAN might relax some local firewall rules to make it easier to develop? I'm just guessing, no real idea)
