They mentioned “install an alternative operating system” - which on hardware sold for Windows implies wanting to install Linux.
It’s a sadly common thing in ‘enterprise’ that Linux is looked down upon because businesses don’t trust anything you don’t pay for or doesn’t come with a big name attached and a costly support agreement to match. Which is why this person mentions Mac. Not because they are elitist but because willingness to support Mac is effectively a test case.
The person is saying "They will only provide Windows hardware. they won’t let me install Linux on it, and if I ask for a Mac (which also comes from a big and ‘proper’ company by the way!) they won’t even allow that either.
I think this person actually wants to run linux, but they are using Mac as a test case.
They mentioned “install an alternative operating system” - which on hardware sold for Windows very much implies Linux.
But if Linux is a no, and even macos is a no - which is from a “big and proper organisation” with support agreements and everything - then the company is obviously a lost cause who are dead-set on windows for life for all time.

I’m just replying to see if you copy the same response, for science.

It’s what happens if you submit a comment and fall for the egregious lie that is Lemmy telling you it didn’t go through
Whoops. I commented, decided to rephrase and edited. But it didn’t result in an edit and I didn’t notice as that’s when I went to bed.
It was just a light hearted dig, no need to explain yourself .
Meanwhile, the people at Red Hat are left asking, “are we a joke to you?”
Ubuntu and Suse join the chat
Ubuntu is even more hostile towards developers than microslop.
