And preferring yet another proprietary OS.
I still use gmail as my spam catcher/throwaway account
I use it at my "catch other people's emails" account, tho so far I haven't been quick enough on the draw to do cool stuff like slurping account creation tokens, goodie delivieries or stuff like that.

99% companies have been using Windows for the past 30 years. I would gladly accept any job using Windows, even more if they paid well. I hate Windows way more than everyone else, but being unemployed is worse nowadays.
You assume they don't already have a job and we're just looking for other opportunities. Not everyone is unemployed before they apply for other jobs. If anything that is a good time to look as it gives you stronger position to negotiate from.
Senior backend engineering definitely doesn’t see 99% windows adoption rate.

extremely based, I have no idea how any dev at my company tolerates windows.
in addition to how extremely slow and incapable the OS is in general,we have to submit tickets to run software because everything is installed through random .exes.
Lmao.
,we have to submit tickets to run software because everything is installed through random .exes.
You have to do that because your IT department doesn't trust you. There's no difference in danger between a dev with system access installing an exe or a DMG.

Device management on Linux is next to impossible compared to windows or macs
It shouldn't have to be a privilege to be able to turn down a job because of poor decisions management makes, but you can really only get away with this if you have options.
Good for you. It's great to have the financial certainty to refuse an offer that doesn't sit well with you. What's better is having the moral backbone of refusing something because it would bother you, even if it means l less financial reward.
I wish it were real.
The guy doesn't want Windows but is ok with Mac. That's... not how it works. At all.
but unpleasant, and you’ll be miserable the whole time.
on the one hand, mac is often virtue signaling for hipsters, on the other hand it is a unix system, so... it often works that way.

As long the company is ok I'm ok.
I'm not planning to input personal info on the work provided laptop anyway.
Yeah. Work laptop strictly stays work. Even when I have to travel for work I use my own computer to log into my United Airlines and Hilton stuff.
