most redhatters used Fedora/RHEL on ThinkPads, Macbooks were in super minority

we used FOSS before Google, but had to switch (there was some pushback internally)

not sure what happened after IMB took over.

I'm not sure if it was so rare, perhaps it depended on your role or location. I suppose developers in engineering used MacBooks less than those of us who worked in consulting, where they were quite common for customer work. We had a choice, though, and there was no judgment about which work tool we preferred.

I'm not sure on what's going on today, I left the company around the IBM acquisition.
