> Every time I read an article like this on HN, I can't help but wonder, is anyone actually using a Linux/FreeBSD machine at their workplace?
I have been using Linux exclusively at my workplaces for over a decade now, and honestly it is a non-negotiable part of interviewing for a job for me. There is no way I would tolerate being stuck with Windows or macOS.
There are solutions for device management for Linux, if a company really wants to do it, but my most recent several employers haven't cared one way or the other.
edit: I say 'non-negotiable,' but obviously I think that for several tens of thousands of dollars I would be willing to use macOS or Windows. But it would have to be a big several, not a small one, and I doubt anyone would put together that compensation package.
