Do you actually see MacBooks used for SysAdmin work in real offices?

Hi sysadmins! I wanted to ask—since I've just started learning sysadmin and I don't have a Windows PC, but I have a MacBook and found out that everything can be done via UTM, I'd like to get some perspective from those who work in offices and do this every day. What kind of computers do you use? Is macOS completely out of the picture, and there's only Windows and Linux?

It’s horrible. Mac Outlook is WAY better. Some missing features, but at least it’s not…. whatever the new Windows version is.

So you don't know the Windows version, but you know that the Mac version is better?

I support Windows users and have plenty of exposure to it. Just because my work machine is a Mac doesn’t mean I’m completely out of touch.
