in the same boat as you. oh if only WSL was 5 years more developed and windows config wasn‘t such a mess. I will say though that it has its upsides, such as more reliable plug&play, the task manager and gaming. That‘s about all it has over MacOS though...
- crispinb 8y agoMirrors my experience. I'm a bit surprised that after years of the cygwin experience, Microsoft hasn't come up with a more elegant solution to incompatible filepaths issues. Having said that, it's good WSL works as well as it does. I'm also a bit surprised at the lack of good Windows software in some spheres - eg. there isn't a really good mail client (the built-in UWP one is a feeble toy). I slightly shamefully gave up and started forwarding my domain email to a gmail account.
- m_mueller 8y agoha. did exactly the same thing. just gave up on mail clients and use webmail now. that being said MacOS Mail has also seen much better (more stable) days and I was already close on giving up on that too. But I‘m surprised everyone lives with this mess too. Same as the tower of babel that is the IM landscape now I guess. Over the last 5 years I‘ve come to accept that the golden age of PC software is over, and I‘d date its peak to around MacOS 10.6.
