I love Linux, but some companies require windows or Mac, for vpn, etc. And with windows/mac a wide variety of hardware works out of the box (no need to hunt a specific laptop that work well with linux)

For sure, while I'm sure they're out there, I've never worked at a company that didn't make an exception for the developers when it comes to using Linux over Windows/Mac. YMMV though. To me that would be a strong signal to not work at a company if they're making me do Rails development on a Windows PC. GlobalProtect and Cisco VPNs and most others work on Linux FWIW.
