Interesting, I know several Arch people (including myself) that were forced onto Mac for work and absolutely detested it. I'm the type of Arch user though that sets it up the way I like it and leave it alone. Are you a continual tinkerer?

An employer tried to make me use MacOS once. I tore it down to the Darwin kernel and shell tools and then built X11 and my window manager of choice and a typical Linux toolchain until it was MacOS in name only.

They finally gave up enforcing software rules with me and I became the one exception allowed to install Linux.

They wasted their own time by thinking they know what tools I will be productive with better than me.
