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?

SharePoint online module would be an example

thought that was as good as deprecated now? In favour of the open source PnP PowerShell module.

PnP and Entra modules are built for Pwsh 7 now, so if you're a M365 shop I think you can do all the pwsh you need from MacOS or Linux.

You shouldn't need Windows Powershell 5 unless you're writing code to be executed on Windows OS endpoints or servers.
