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.

Guy just sounds entitled and precious they wouldn't stump for a Macbook.

Workers should be entitled, and demand better conditions when we have the leverage

The guy doesn't want Windows but is ok with Mac. That's... not how it works. At all.

Mac is the compromise option

As long the company is ok I'm ok.

I'm not planning to input personal info on the work provided laptop anyway.

Just wondering... Is there anyone on Earth using Windows Server?

At school we were tought how to work with it (my teacher was so outdated, he barely knew what Linux was) but I can't find any good reason to use it instead of Linux

Is this a real question? It's very obvious you don't work in IT.

While it takes about 8-16 hours of concerted effort, there are ways to castrate Windows into a mild approximation of what it was before.

The big question mark is Windows 12… and whether AI and spyware/malware features such as Recall will be baked into core functionality such that it will be impossible to remove or reliably deactivate.

I’m still with Windows for now, owing to requirements that have no non-Windows alternative (which include supporting and actually opening client data files for the desktop version of Quicken, for example), but I do foresee a time when I would reliably extract my last foot out of the Windows ecosystem.

Thankfully, their server products still appear to be enshittification-free. For now.

Insane behaviour. Much as I hate Windows, for a "generous offer" I'd make it work.
