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.
