      Ironically I work in Linux and use Windows and the os to do it. I deploy lots of container Linux from a work provided windows laptop.

      And I use Linux at home playing windows games through wine/proton.

        Different computers. My work provide me a dedicated work computer. My work doesn’t really care which OS I’m using on their computer. Only that I’m doing the job, and I’m most productive on Linux.

        But if I for some reason had only one computer I would probably dual boot to keep my work and personal life separate.

            If the choice was between Mac vs Windows I would probably go with Mac, as it’s Unix based.

            In a previous job I had to use Windows. I think it’s tolerable at best. Thankfully WSL along with the new Windows terminal is pretty good these days. I don’t miss the days when MSYS was the only Linux-like option for windows.

              Used to be stuck on Windows, before WSL made it in most corporate deployments. The only way I kept some level of sanity was by totally foregoing working on Windows itself, and I just worked off a VM.

            Honestly, for a work machine, I may just take macOS over Linux given the choice. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I’ve yet to get a work-provided machine that didn’t have something that doesn’t quite work correctly on Linux, or they’ll limit which distro I can use because of some compatibility issue with their mandatory security software, or whatever other BS.
