I'm 100% with you. Moved from MacOS to Windows because of WSL1. Tangent warning: When WSL2 came out I ended up moving away from WSL and moved to running my development environment inside a VMWare VM and connecting to it via VSCode remote ssh development feature (the same one used for WSL). This is essentially a manual version of WSL2, something people have been doing for ages. Now, whether I develop from Windows or MacOS, I am always connecting to my Linux VM. If I need to run docker, it's running in that VM. I got to the point now where I forward my SSH port from my public IP to my desktop PC at home. When I am away from home (e.g. working in the office with my laptop), I connect to my desktop (via ssh on my public IP) and due to the seamless integration VSCode has for remote development, It feels like everything is running on my local device. The PC is of course handling compilation, intellisense and all that good stuff while my laptop is essentially a thin client. The laptop now runs faster, has a longer battery life, doesn't spin up the fans and also doesn't need to be upgraded. My home PC, electricity and internet bills are also tax deductible because I use them for work purposes.
