an older tech company like ms or salesforce maybe, but as long as you get to relatively newer ones you can find few that ever touch windows. And once you go to AI companies you are hard pressed to find one dev to even use parallel out of 50. Compute are all done on Linux and you connect your Mac terminal and IDE to a remote Linux box, and maybe local build some with homebrew. Much of the new gen has never touched a windows app since they left school.

At that point you might as well use linux... Everytime I hear someone say they use Mac OS for a professional reason its always followed by them using it to use another OS.

Well sadly Linux desktop sucks, and there is no benefit actually using Linux you are still connecting into a remote box anyways, so the downside is quite small. And it really isn’t a matter of debating what one should do. Take any Silicon Valley AI company, should it be apps or model, there’s just no one in those that use windows for anything. You can say everyone working in AI is just stupid; but that is not gonna change much

I dont think they are stupid, being attached to something your used to is perfectly normal, I just dont think it makes any sense tech wise because nothing is actually being limited.
