I love it. I ended up buying an Alienware that I got on sale, so my computer has some amazing performance stats, but was very cheap. I think I got about 4x for my money in terms of compute and build quality compared to a mac. 17 inch screen, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB harddrive +256GB SSD, 1080 GPU, great keyboard and build quality. The WSL is great, I have had no issues. I mostly do machine learning and large compute related work, but develop APIs and such as well. I have had no issues on WSL, but am also not an expert in how a regular linux system should function. It just seems you get best of both worlds, microsoft reliability, linux dev environment and tools. Working with python can be a bit annoying, in the sense that tools like PyCharm expect to use the windows interpreter, so it is the case that I have an interpreter that I use from the command line and an interpreter that I use for IDEs. Other frustrations would be installing things like CUDA on windows means that I need to run GPU related programs on the windows interpreter, since I dont think CUDA built for linux plays well with WSL. And if it does, its a huge hassle to figure out how to get things to work. So sometimes you get locked into how you run software, or having to use the windows version There are a ton of complaints about Microsoft windows, but honestly, I love it. I think the complaints about how terrible windows is come from the early 2000s - 2010. The idea that it has terrible UX is outdated, and in my belief, is somewhat a result of apple branding than anything else. Microsoft is a different company now, and puts out some great products. For the record I've been writing software for about ten years
