I'd argue Red Hat using Macbooks to be somewhat worse (unless those Macbooks are running Fedora somehow, of course); that'd be equivalent to the Mattermost devs using Teams, or the GIMP devs using Photoshop ;)
During the brief time I was at (a subsidiary of) IBM, one of the standard laptop options (and the one I ultimately picked) was a ThinkPad running RHEL; pretty sure it even shipped with Boxes and a script to spin up Windows VMs to cover the “I need to run this proprietary program that won't run in Wine” angle. If Red Hat's own OS in their parent company's standard config ain't good enough for them, then that seems like a problem they should be hard at work fixing.
- yndoendo 8mo agoRed Hat employees can use Fedora on their MacBook. Fedora Asahi Remix [0]. Unfortunately in the business world you often have to use tools that others outside of your company uses. I would never choose to use Oracle Database but since the client uses it then I must setup a development / QA environment for it. I don't know of any Microsoft Access Database solution that runs on non-Windows OSes. Any time I interact with one I need a Windows VM. Would love a command line client like sqlite3 so I don't have to use such a bad GUI. [0] https://asahilinux.org/fedora/ https://asahilinux.org/fedora/
