I don’t even use the same OS at work. I use macOS at home, but work at a Windows shop on a Dell.

I guess this is because in college and my first few dev jobs used Macs. A nice side effect is my wife hasn’t had any tech support complaints since we switched, it has been great.

I’d still never use company hardware for personal stuff. I don’t even login to Spotify on the company laptop.

That's weird, why did she stop asking you for help? I'm on Windows and my wife is on macOS and she still hits me up for tech support problems.
Could you give a few examples of _tech support problems_ she had with macOS that was escalated to you?
Okay to be fair she was on Ubuntu.

She doesn’t seem to have issues with macOS at all though, aside from the one time I had her using a VPN and it expired which is totally on me and disabling it was nonobvious.
