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.

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.
