Dealbreaker? No, but strong negative signal. I have my own preferences and ways-of-working, and having to adjust these on top of all the other new things that come with a new company or team is a significant downside.

I've recently switched from daily-driving a mac to daily driving Linux on a Thinkpad, because for my startup I'm working on some Rust code that ends up being too much of a hassle to cross-compile, and the story for using GUI Linux in a VM on [edit: ARM64] macOS is not quite there yet. After 3 months I'm a lot more proficient than when I started, but I still feel so much less productive than I would be on a mac that I'm working on adding better abstractions to be able to mock out the stuff that doesn't build on macOS easily.
