My boss very confidently proclaimed that all serious IT professionals use a Mac. Said Linux "is for programmers and nerds"

So, programmers != IT professionals, huh...

So what do they make of people like me who who use Linux on a Mac, with e.g. Colima or Rancher desktop - doing cloud/kubernetes/python development? I moved to a Mac a couple of years ago after 20 years of using Linux as my daily driver because frankly Bluetooth audio on Linux sucks and because I was tired of getting endless different video conference / screensharing solutions working at short notice for interviewing.

I'm in IT, from my experience, most people who use Macs either use it for media, because it is easy to use for the common man, or it is the most expensive option.

Also most people who use Macs need help from their Linux using coworkers to get anything moderately difficult done on their systems.
