I agree with this completely, and I extend it to the operating system itself. I'm at the point (at home) where I no longer need a proprietary, closed source OS for work or for play. Linux and OpenBSD do essentially everything I need in my home office, and at work I've shifted most of my day-to-day over to my Linux workstation. The systems I maintain do of course still run Windows 10 out of necessity for our accounting software, but if we ever switch that over to a hosted solution we will only need one workstation with Windows, and it's not a critical role. The company president has already greenlit working in whatever OS I am most comfortable with, as long as it doesn't hinder my duties, so he's at least open to moving everything over one day.
