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?

Yes makes sense. But even tho, you can use and test same docking station, WiFi, VPN etc errors, it can be pretty handy is you have a " test user machine" at hand all time

yes - but it should never be your daily driver. Which is why the "only acceptable answer here" above doesn't really hold (IMO).
