Linux admin grey(ish) beard here, work provides a MacBook and I just use it as a web browser and terminal.
Internal chat, mail, etc are all browser based, Google Docs is the office suite of choice for anyone I have to work with.
I get a decent terminal (iterm2), together with ZSH, tmux and Python is all I really need. We do have a bunch of GNU core utils installed as well, although coming from a UNIX background, I don’t mind the BSD versions that ship on MacOS either.
Would I prefer Linux? Yes, I would. But at the same time, the M4 performance is awesome, the touchpad is glorious and I don’t have to foot the bill, so I’m not complaining!
