Probably yeah. Ive done the same and said no to jobs where I couldnt use Linux. I didnt even want mac at that time, because 70% of the fun of the job was using Linux and native tools there.

Its not really strange. We are using our computers to do our job and we think its fun, so being forced to use a different platform ruins a lot of the fun.

I hate windows as much as the next lemmy user, but turning down a well paying job because I don't want to use the OS 99+% of businesses use, means you must be at a level of stability I cannot even fathom.

And not you, but OP was kind of a dick calling IT lazy. As someone go works in IT myself, a lot of departments these days are woefully understaffed. We're not going to support any extra software, causing us to work more overtime hours, because one douche is throwing a hissyfit

Yeah the agreement for me was always that i wont need any support from the company for my Linux, and I never did.

If you know Linux, it will just work. I had to use the web version of office and teams sometimes, but that worked ok during meetings.

I need to start applying to jobs while I'm still comfortable just for the thrill of turning them down.

I can't imagine saying this to normies at my work. They'd look at me like I had 3 eyes.

Well to be fair, you might be the only one using your third eye.
