Different computers. My work provide me a dedicated work computer. My work doesn’t really care which OS I’m using on their computer. Only that I’m doing the job, and I’m most productive on Linux.

But if I for some reason had only one computer I would probably dual boot to keep my work and personal life separate.

    Lucky duck. My work got me a Macbook even though I requested a cheaper Linux dev machine.

    If the choice was between Mac vs Windows I would probably go with Mac, as it’s Unix based.

    In a previous job I had to use Windows. I think it’s tolerable at best. Thankfully WSL along with the new Windows terminal is pretty good these days. I don’t miss the days when MSYS was the only Linux-like option for windows.

    Honestly, for a work machine, I may just take macOS over Linux given the choice. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I've yet to get a work-provided machine that didn't have something that doesn't quite work correctly on Linux, or they'll limit which distro I can use because of some compatibility issue with their mandatory security software, or whatever other BS.
