    Dude how many qualifications do you have that you can turn down a job offer in this economy over such a rather minor inconvenience?!

      Dude, that’s like hiring a truck driver and telling him his lorry will be pulled by 4 horses.

        Yet I work for a very successfully (we have too much work and don’t even advertise for it) small company and we all use windows computers as software engineers. We use C# .Net Entity Framework, SQL, GraphQL, React Typescript or WinForms.

        We have some large clients that most people ok earth have heard of.

      I find it crazy how many people here are making it sound like it’s torture to use Windows. I get that they prefer Linux, but for many it seems like it goes way beyond normal preference to something that’s a core part of their identiny.

      That isn’t minor at all. If I’m using a tool all day, it needs to be something that I’m comfortable using. Forcing me to use Windows is like taking my office chair and replacing it with a chair that has a lumpy cushion and broken casters.

      I understand putting up with a shitty job situation because you need the money, but this is certainly not a “minor inconvenience”.
