Being rude is asking you to explain why we should have a second device running Linux?

And you wonder why there is an adoption problem with that OS.

Just in case you're actually unaware and not just bullshitting,

Right ok.... But what's on the other PC for for an OS? And why should we bother having another one on a different OS assuming we can afford extra hardware?

Came off snarky, thus rude, and is why I returned it in kind. If you weren't trying to be rude and it came off that way by mistake, my bad, but it definitely seemed intentionally and unnecessarily snarky.

You immediately assumed people needed to have multiple pieces of hardware when some can't even afford past what their job provides, being able to have a separate and dedicated machine is still privileged.

You got immediately defensive and felt you had to rush to defend the dangerous question because you thought I might have been snarky when asking? What the hell?!

And you are still doing it!
