I've been a happy Linux user since about 1995. I was forced to use a Mac at my last company and I loathed every minute of it.
Indeed, I've started using that as a way to see how flexible companies are. "Can I use a Linux laptop?". Some are like "sure, as long as you get your work done!". Those are better places to work, IMO.
- gabrielgio 4y agoI agree. Also fortunately, I’m in position where I can refuse to work for a company which forbids me for using Linux. There is no point to me to work on anything else.
- dmix 4y agoWhy would company doing software force you to use MacOS these days? Security/enterprise management? Some unique software stack?
- davidw 4y agoSecurity reasons related to handling money, put vaguely. It's not a terrible reason, but I was still grumpy using that machine. Some companies are just "that's the standard and what everyone uses and that's just the way things are" and they aren't great places to work.
