In NYC and I've always just brought along my Linux laptop - no one's ever told me it's not allowed. Disclaimer: I use Linux because of the philosophy, hate mega-corps and will turn down any job offer if the offering company runs an Exchange server.
The MBP I'm usually given is left at the office. I use it strictly for iOS/macOS testing and the occasional Sketch/AI/PSD file.

As a sysadmin/DevOps since last 5 years, I'd converted lots of beginner windows dev/user to Ubuntu/Linux as I'll not allow Micro$hit in our work ;)
Also, I'd rejected lots of offer which are using Exchange Email or work only with Windows system.
After 5 years of my career in India as a sysadmin I'm happy I'd not handled any Microsoft Shit.

The only place I've worked where the developers ran Linux on the dev boxes is Google, which used Goobuntu.
Couchbase gives us Macs but most servers we run for dev and test purposes are Linux, often CentOS.

Can anyone name a large company that let's devs use Linux as the OS on the corporate pc?
Wondering what companies allow you to use Linux as the primary OS on the corporate machine.
