Yeah ultimately the os itself has it's limitations, I get more done on a Thinkpad 420 I picked up refurbed for $300 with Ubuntu instead of windows 10 pro. I can run systemd daemons on Ubuntu but trying to run services like postgresql on windows subsystem for Linux is painful with no daemon support it's like a crippled Linux.

I would literally quit programming and find something new if I had to use MacOS or Windows -- totally uninterested in developing on platforms that could fall out from under me at any time, whether by ceasing to exist or through some legal BS.

I don't think that Microsoft or Apple have a positive influence on society and prefer not to support them. You can call that unreasonable all you want, but already my approach has paid huge dividends as far as picking technologies that have staying power and are continually gaining traction.
