I've only imagined a Microsoft version of Linux (or BSD or ...). I figured it was the only way to get a polished consistent experience much like I have gotten (mostly, but not perfect) from Apple and macOS. The reason I left Linux on the Desktop in 2006 for macOS. I was tired of inconsistent experience, constantly tweaking, sleep/suspend/hibernate haphazardly working (or not).
However, the one problem I have with switching to Windows, even with a flawless WSL (2), or full Linux/BSD/whatever OS under the hood, the whole Apple ecosystem integration, seamless syncing between all my devices and accounts will be hard to let go unless something from MSFT / Windows and company can provide that same convenience. From what I have researched, it's close, but still not there.
It's too convenient. I know people will say they have problems with it (iCloud/macOS/iOS syncing/integration), but my experience and all my fellow constituents and family haven't. So, I have not witnessed nor experienced these issues people bring up in threads on HackerNews, Reddit, etc that I have seen (yet can't seem to find exact examples of at the moment with links).
I really admire this work. I hope MSFT continues down the path they have been. I've always had a soft spot for them. I'm rooting for them.
