Plenty, plenty comments in both threads make me facepalm, and remind myself why I left Reddit...
It's nonetheless a rather weird claim. A few users mentioned that she might be Amish; does this hold some ground? (I'm just curious.)

Just in my experience with the Amish (Michigan/Illinois/Ohio), the most technology I saw them use was a gas generator for power tools when building. The use of electronics was not allowed within their communities. I know some groups have moved forward a bit but still they are not using PC's to my knowledge. It has also been about 20 years since I interacted regularly with any of the as well so....

Perfectly understandable.
I am required to use Windows 10 for work, but it is unfortunately against my religion (Nixifarian) to do so. To repent for my sins I kneel before a small statue of Richard Stallman and chant "In Linus we trust, please Father Torvalds forgive me for my transgressions." and flog myself thrice with a Cat-o-RJ45 tails.

If fundies are going to abuse the "freedom of religion" part of First Amendment to sneak in theocracy through the back door, then I see no reason why a Linux fan shouldn't likewise use it to insist on a computing environment that suits them at work if it's at all feasible for the employer to provide one.

Because the policy gives the room to a court case so no I agree with the HRs.

Turns out they do have PC's but with very strict limits. Video summarizes it well. I didn't know about this until a few months ago either. I knew some used mobile phones merely for calls with outside clients. They have a very pragmatic use of computer technology.
