Wondering if Netflix SWEs are provided an option to choose a Linux based laptop for work. Or is Macbook the only option? Can anyone confirm please? Blind tax: Current TC: $485K, L6 SDE, 12 YOE #netflix #swe #laptop #engineering #software
You can order a Lenovo laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed. Or you can talk to your manager and most will allow you to order whatever laptop you want and expense it, if you can give a half way decent reason for needing it.
I see. My reasons are just personal preference and productivity. After having only used Linux laptop for over a decade anything else will feel it is getting in the way. I tried both Mac and Windows in the past and just could not use them effectively. Is it well supported though in the company? In terms of internal tooling, IT support? I also do not want to keep spending a whole lot of time figuring out why some tools are not working etc. that would have the opposite effect on productivity.
Sure.
