> "I could easily argue Windows is easier than either one with WSL." No you definitely couldn't. The experience is sub-par, having to deal with the Win boundary sucks, it's slower, and many apps don't work. This is very visible when trying to use an editor that's not imbued with Microsoft's magic. WSL is a glorified virtual machine, that's all. Homebrew does not install a virtual machine. I'm not 100% happy with it, but it usually works fine, and the packages are up to date, which you can't say if you'd go for Ubuntu, whose repo tends to lag behind, especially on LTS (and you want to be on LTS if you actually want a usable system). If you want to take it to the next level, we also have Nix running on macOS ;-)
