- romanovcode 9y agoDocker works pretty great with Windows nowadays using Hyper-V. Because of that your point can be reversed: If you work with Docker there is no point in switching from Windows to Linux.
- tkubacki 9y agoWindows works ok as virtual box/vmware guest as well. I spent few years as .net Dev this way and was more than happy with this solution. You need beefy machine though. Not using windows as primary OS limits risk related to viruses, malware. Also moving to new hardware is just copy vm files (windows provision for Dev used to take a lot of time)
