      If the choice was between Mac vs Windows I would probably go with Mac, as it’s Unix based.

      In a previous job I had to use Windows. I think it’s tolerable at best. Thankfully WSL along with the new Windows terminal is pretty good these days. I don’t miss the days when MSYS was the only Linux-like option for windows.

        Used to be stuck on Windows, before WSL made it in most corporate deployments. The only way I kept some level of sanity was by totally foregoing working on Windows itself, and I just worked off a VM.

      Honestly, for a work machine, I may just take macOS over Linux given the choice. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I've yet to get a work-provided machine that didn't have something that doesn't quite work correctly on Linux, or they'll limit which distro I can use because of some compatibility issue with their mandatory security software, or whatever other BS.
