Not really, but my efficiency varies significantly between operating systems, and I have never held back my feedback to management, that if we were given right tools then we can deliver more.

And I never was afraid to push for it =)

I used to work in a big old insurance enterprise (with AS/400 mainframes as a backend) and when I joined 100% of engineers were given locked in Windows machines without admin access. Over time me and other engineers were able to influence the company to first give us ability to run linux on desktops and then even expanded to buying Macbooks to developers who wanted.
