Mac vs Windows PC for Remote Work

Going to a BB which does not provide WFH laptops and instead uses a virtual desktop setup. Need to replace my personal mac but was also thinking of getting a Thinkpad. Would buying a Mac and using a Windows keyboard work since virtual desktop is Windows based? Thanks!

Use Mac with no mouse and only touchpad 👍In all seriousness use Windows PC because your short cuts / muscle memory will transfer to other computers easily, you will have teams installed already, and it will be more compatible with office
