I had a ying yang work experience with two companies as a pupil.
One used Linux and I had unexpected skills making me solve and create a product/feature. The project manager was kind and a nerd like me. The chef was sweet kind.
The other company used Microsoft products in every corner like a hardcore football fan. The project manager was kinda toxic and it was hard to explain something to him as he pretended to have knowledge and the chef was rarely in a happy mood and often screaming at him. He didn’t knew many things about Microsoft products and browser itself, he just coded and didn’t understood its entirety back knowledge. He expected me to be some master student and graded me bad for skills no pupil had in our class as we just only learned Java in school, I could use all langauages they used and it still wasn’t enough.
I will soon have to use a windows PC for my next project. Also one of my previous clients was using only windows PCs for dev (as well as Gerrit instead of Github).
In tech jobs where you write code, everyone uses Linux or mac. :)

Y u no program like senior engineer when you come out of school. We even pay you competitive ( minimum ) IT wage!
Code more for company in your own time so you can catch up.
1/5 performance review.
I wish that was the case. Also, I was being sarcastic. :)
This is not true in my experience. My current employer requires us to use Windows.
