Linux is fundamentally appealing to those who want to tinker with OS. Even with this kind of full-featured ricing or package, users will have hard time to figures some features out, if they do not have enough knowledge how to navigate Linux system.

I personally use all three major OS, Mac at work, Windows for gaming, Linux for everything else. For me different OS serves different purposes and gives me task-oriented productivity boost.

I respect that and truly admire what dhh has done and tweeted about over the last year or so. But for a business to mandate an operating system for their developers (which I fully agree they have the right to do) with those reasons is underwhelming.

What is a productivity boost for you in one OS might be a burden to someone else. And vice versa. That's the benefit of letting developers choose their OS.

No one’s forcing anyone to work at this company. Thanks to the publicity there’s plenty of warning about what it’ll involve so you can expect folks to come in well informed - or self-select out.

Strawman. Nobody ever said anyone was being forced to work there and nobody would claim that was the case.
