Why would you not be very clear about this right at the start of the interview process so you're not wasting everybody's (including your own) time? If this is one of your absolute show-stoppers, then say so up front and we can either work with IT to get you what you want, or decline and move on to the next candidate.

Are you talking to the employer or the applicant, because it works both ways?

Windows is the PC operating system used by almost every organization. If you aren't willing to work with it, you really need to be clear about that up front.

It's like trying to get a job as a mechanic at an auto shop and telling them after the interview you refuse to work on Toyotas.

This is clearly in a field where that’s not true
