Thankfully I've moved away from Windows completely. Unfortunately I still need to use it at work and using it for development is a pain compared to Linux. Today's Linux is not the same clunky mess it was 15 or even 10 years ago. If you don't run any strange hardware or don't require Windows-only applications (that Wine/Proton don't handle) then the experience is great.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Mostly agreed. Though WSL+Docker do make Windows more tolerable for work chores. It was literally an ad in the start menu search that got me to start using Linux full time. (Insiders a couple years ago).
I use WSL for work as well and in my opnion it fits Microsoft's classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" paradigm. WSL basically prevents most from requesting from the IT dept, A full blown Linux desktop/Laptop because they will simply say "you want Linux? here have WSL, it is 100% Linux", Which it is really not, WSL's idiosyncrasies from a true Linux Desktop drives me nuts at times.
