Listen I work in IT and everyone is getting templeOS and they can like it. If gods own operating system isn't good enough for you then you can clear off.

People who make a living by configuring Microsoft products for company use won't want to change.

Im all for privacy and obviously working where you want to but like really? Your unwilling to take a position if the desktop/laptop you use only for work doesn't have an OS that's acceptable? Regardless of pay/perks/etc you wouldn't take a position where everything is perfect except you have to use their specified OS? This is genuine curiosity hopefully this doesn't come accross as me trying to say I doubt you or your not entitled to your opinions but I just don't get it, curious to understand why. What industry do you work in? It makes sense if a certain OS could make your job harder but I would be more worried about being able to use software that I want rather than OS at least at my current position.

Not parent commenter, but yes, an inappropriate OS makes the job a lot harder for software developers. Also, there is rarely a need to store data on the end user device, this is mostly done out of convenience and lack of knowledge on how to do things properly

It doesn’t have anything to do with privacy, it’s more about being able to use tools that I’m deeply familiar with.
