      What companies have you worked for that provide linux laptops and linux desktops to common users? Not developers, not as servers.

      I’ve worked in multiple industries. Macs are not rare, but they aren’t prevalent. Windows still has ultramajority market share.

      On the server side, tons of things run linux. Maybe if you work for a tech company or are on a development team you use linux day to day, but this is generally a small subset of people at a company. This is not a forum for “developers” but for everybody. Someone in HR, Finance, Sales, R&D, etc is not going to be familiar with linux at work typically.

      I don’t doubt that there are companies out there that have linux workstations for normal users, I just doubt it’s more than 2% of the workforce in the western world. It’s probably way less than that.
