I only use Linux for everything. Part of this is that I love it and I work best on it, and part of it is that I don't believe in supporting Microsoft for reasons I won't get into here. I've been at a company doing data science work for about six months, and in my interview I was told that we'd be allowed to use any software we work best on. When I started I found out that we're required to use Windows for everything, and I've been unhappy and doing poorer quality work as a result. I've now learned how to check for lies in the future, but is it unreasonable for me to leave this job over not being allowed to use the tools I prefer?

Only you can figure out whether this is important enough to you to change jobs over. Although we may be able to tell you whether potential employers would find this reasonable, and what you should tell them.

You can leave a job because you don't like the curtains so long as you do it within the constraints of your contract.
