Good point about no one batting an eyelid over Mac or Windows laptop mandate but people are shocked at a Linux mandate... But imagine their second shock when they realize how good Linux is nowadays. I always had the sense that Linux has been the victim of a conspiracy between other OS makers since its inception. It's been suppressed within enterprise environments and rarely discussed anywhere. Linux's success on the server side has been entirely organic, working against all media narratives and vested interests.
As a developer, I am much more productive with Linux than any other OS. The workspaces feature is better (on most distros I tried), the commands more closely align with the prod environment, no need for complex virtual machine setups, no weird delays or missing critical commands when using bash. Everything just works and performs.
IMO, this is the payoff of having architected the system properly from the ground up, it's more stable. You don't get so many weird glitches as you do on Windows.
