As a developer my next laptop will absolutely be a Windows 10 machine running WSL2 for development workloads, likely with an AMD 4xxx series chip. Up until about 6 months ago I was on the fence, actions like this have been a validation I'm sharing with all my friends and family making similar purchasing decisions.
- xyzzy_plugh 6y agoI encourage you to try Linux straight up -- Proton works wonders. It's not a perfect solution but I can play every game I care about, and don't have to worry about WSL's impotence.
- tmpz22 6y agoI run ubuntu on my desktop computer, it's alright but I still get wireless connection issues on fresh installs. On top of that I prefer the various settings interfaces on windows 10 especially when interacting with third party hardware such as high-end monitors and graphics cards. Finally, native windows software is frequently better than native linux GUI software. In my opinion there is just less craftsmanship (i.e. loading animations around network latency, general responsiveness (multi-threading support?)), that effects the user experience. I will always keep an installation of linux on one of my devices, but I don't want it to be my main driver.
