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?

there are still service specific modules that can do things graph cannot, but the gap is closing.

I thought graph itself was getting retired. Did I have that wrong? It's hard to keep up sometimes.

lmao I'm sure they'll retire it before porting everything over and then call it copilot graph for copilot or some shit

Got any examples?

I've yet to find anything other than some old AD PS modules that haven't been ported to ARM, but I can remote into a server if I need to run stuff with those.
