Once people start saying "forced to use [...] for work" you've got to analyse platforms from a different angle.

Namely: How good is this platform after Corporate IT cheaps out on hardware, and loads as much 'security' crapware as possible?

On Windows, there are incredibly cheap laptops available, and corporate IT has loads of crapware like antivirus and crowdstrike and profiles and enterprise endpoint management to slow it down.

On Mac, there aren't any cheap hardware options, and there's a medium amount of "security" crapware.

On Linux, corporate IT let you manage it yourself, because they don't know how to. They can't develop the skills either, because anyone who can manage Linux gets promoted out the set-up-new-users-laptops department.

Or at some point, corporate IT bans desktop Linux because they can’t manage it.

Linux users then start using Windows VMs to contain the worst of it.

Great point. I use both Mac and windows. Love my windows pc, but I have certainly used corporate windows laptops that make me want to throw them out the window - minutes to boot, minutes to open anything, etc. between Mac and windows, they've each got their pros and cons but nothing that would make me choose one over the other.
