The fact that this can even happen is enough for me to never touch this for doing work.
I stopped developing on Windows after the Windows 8 fiasco and I don't see myself ever coming back.
Both Mac and Linux are faster, more convenient, and more solid in my experience.
I considered advising my son to buy a Surface for his school work and developing on WSL2, but I'm glad the M1 Mac came out with a much better cost/performance, so he got one. At least his git repos won't get corrupted.
- smarx007 6y agoI am a macOS user myself (daily driver since circa 2016, Arch/Ubuntu 2013-2016 and Win 7 before that) and I can tell you that the honeymoon is surely over. On top of that, I have my 2 old laptops running as Win10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS home servers and I can say they have not given me any grief. I feel that Windows and Ubuntu LTS are getting more and more stable while macOS is going towards "move fast and break things" with every release (both still require some group policy fu and command line fu respectively but that's not a big deal). Back in the days, you'd snapshot your Windows XP with Acronis or something similar every time you'd install something major and these days I am contemplating downgrading to Mojave from Catalina. Big Sur is out of the question with things like firewall bypass and many others. P.S.
