This is a common stereotype but there is a reasonably sized group of Linux enthusiasts who work on macs.
Macos is a real unix based system. (As opposed to unix compatible GNU “Gnu is Not Unix”) and they claim the performance (apples own chips), even in a vm is amazing.
I had at least one coworker who did this, i also remember Emily Young (Who some remember as Anthony from Ltt) also had quite a few apple products in her house.
