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
