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

If they want to pay me to deliver stuff on a unicycle, I'll be delivering stuff on a unicycle. Do I want to ride a unicycle? Depends on the pay.

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.

Have you considered that you might have too much work simply because these tools are inefficient?

Nobody thinks you can't do software engineering on windows. It's just worse.
