The main pain points for me come from Windows not being Unix-y enough (or at all). WSL2 will probably help with this. I am still at 1803 on my work computer so not holding my breath for WSL2 any time soon. It isn't really Windows' fault that my work computer has an i5-8500 six core processor coupled with a single DIMM of 8 GB and a $20 hard disk. I won't blame Windows for that. I won't blame Windows for Symantec Endpoint Protection that just has to check every single file just as I need to do npm install. My manager is sympathetic but we are powerless. I want to say something good about Windows as well: as far as I can see, there is no memory leak in Windows. Windows 10 is pretty solid. I still think there are two very low hanging fruits: 1. Prohibit OEM partners from shipping Windows 10-based PCs booting from a mechanical hard disk (yes even "SSHD"). Vendors can add a mechanical hard disk but may not boot from it. 2. By default, no automatic reboot without manual consent especially for consumers. Long term, look very hard into what kind of update requires a reboot and why. Be willing to break compatibility where required.
