Windows is ultimately not good for development, yes there is wsl2 but that can't manage your actual operating system. You end up having to do things twice on such setups. So while being more flexible they ultimately mean more maintenance.
For a developer doing anything in Linux is simply one right command way, you manage the desktop the same way you manage your servers. Driver issues are way less common for older stable hardware.
