This looked to be MacOS for a while, but then came the iPhone...

  That is true, though I still think that macOS still is the closest to that and that is one of the reasons I keep using the Mac. Mac+VMWare is a pretty flexible setup. I wonder, if anyone has a project going to implement a wayland server for Metal2? On the other side, the WSL looks very promising, so Windows is becoming more and more interesting, if one is a Unix guy.

    I‘ve switched from Mac to WSL. You‘re using a lot of integration with GUI layer and a lot of polish, especially keybinding, tabbing and nice fonts. But it‘s useable and being able to use Linux package managers instead of homebrew is a big plus. Also, Thinkpads are so much nicer than current MBP - best of breed keyboard, all the I/O you need, nice case, 1TB SSD, 24GB Ram, 2300 USD pricepoint, everything else good enough.

      I think WSL would quickly become a killer if MS added a Wayland server integrated in the native Windows UI.

        this is obviously the next step I think.

          In the meantime, there are already solutions to running X in WSL that are almost single-click: https://token2shell.com/x410/ https://token2shell.com/x410/ https://whitewaterfoundry.com/WLinux/ https://whitewaterfoundry.com/WLinux/
