I have never seen even one, nor can I find any examples of such a store on the internet. The whole idea of a "Linux store" is an oxymoron, it's free.
Sorry by shop I mean workplace.
Edit: Top of page? Linux ftw!

Finding a 100% linux work environment is probably going to be quite difficult.
What you should do, though, is look at industry standards, i.e. AD, Sharepoint, etc, and make sure that your product works properly with them. At some point it's quite likely that an Apple user is going to come into contact with this stuff, and it's messy when it happens.
Have you tried SmoothMouse for this? Bettertouchtool would probably also help with your shortcut problems.I'll be switching back to windows as well next time I'll buy a computer - probably a Surface. Been on the platform for about 5 years as well.
I love the hardware, and there are plenty of brilliant, well thought out touches in the OS which I will miss. This, however, is not enough to mitigate my problems with the inbuilt mouse acceleration - probably the reason for lousy third party mouse/tablet drivers too, inconsistencies in remapping keyboard shortcuts (if any available for a particular function) and Finder not supporting alt+page up/down.
It has been an interesting ride but I realize now that it's just too much of a nuisance.
I'm not sure what AD is, and I've never used Sharepoint, but it looks like an enterprise or office-type product. Is that correct?
Macs never have and never will be aimed at or catered towards that market. Buying a Mac for use in an office or corporate environment is not a great idea.
What exactly about those products is messy on a Mac though, and why is that Apple's fault vs the developer? (in this case, I guess Microsoft) When I hear "industry standard", it's usually in reference to protocols and other "open" platforms, services, etc. I'm guessing AD and Sharepoint don't really fit that description...so how is Apple supposed to improve "support" for a Microsoft product? Are there some system-level APIs in OS X that are missing or not configured in a standard way, or something?

Probably. But 90% will suffice. If the rest are Mac that's okay. Just no more Windows in my dev environment. Please.

Power. Maybe external monitor. Maybe ethernet.
Such a hardship.
I'm guessing based on this statement and you're lack of understanding of Active Directory and Sharepoint you're not well taped into the enterprise computer market.
Being able to push out updates, login profiles, management, NETWORK SHARES FFS, is just messy on a mac. Often times they will required additional software or hardware on top of your existing environment.
Says you, but there are people who prefer working on a mac. My current company has a mixture of Macs and Windows machines, while also using Exchange and various other tools. You simply cannot dismiss a Mac for office environments.
But I also don't expect a Mac to work flawlessly in a "'pure' Windows managed environment", or even a normal corporate environment. It's one of the tradeoffs of preferring Macs.
If you are using a docking station you are most definitely also using ethernet. You also forgot keyboard, mouse, audio and any external printer or usb devices. You'd also be having a hard time connecting more than 3 USB devices on a typical laptop, less for newer laptops and Apple ones in particular.
The docking station also adds capabilities you wouldn't otherwise have. I can connect 2x dvi monitors instead of just 1 vga one, I get an additional 6 usb ports and 1 or 2 esata ones.
Not sure why you try to keep downplaying the docking station, especially for work it's a huge benefit that you don't get with any of the apple laptops.
This is what clicking the middle mouse button does for me on Windows 8.1.
I have to use macs at school and I hate OSX. Window management is terrible and cumbersome.

I'm going to guess that your school is like mine, and they replaced the mouse with the crappy white plastic wired mouse? It's a pretty big downgrade from the magic mouse, which I would already say is kind of a meh experience. Gestures make a world of difference. Using an iMac without a trackpad or at least a magic mouse is severely gimping the user experience, IMO.I have to use macs at school and I hate OSX. Window management is terrible and cumbersome.
How is Apple supposed to fix the fact that the last Office was released half a decade ago for Mac?More like Apple computers are not properly compatible with industry standards. AD, Office and Sharepoint all predate OSX, and as far as I am concerned it is Apple's responsibility to reach out and make sure OSX works with them, not the other way around. The world needs compatibility, you can't just alienate a large portion of your users because of incompatibilities with major software.
Microsoft are partly to blame as well, as Office for Mac is their product and it completely sucks.
