windows is already not great for dev? I'll bite, what were you doing, ios apps? lol

  Getting a functional semi-ok, posix sorta vaguely compliant terminal is not a fun or easy task in windows. The web runs linux, and unfortunately, windows doesn't really want to do linux (WSL is a tiny concession)

    WSL doesn't cut it, it's at best frustrating with all sort of weird problems. Just yesterday, as I was forced to use Windows at work, I couldn't get emacs to save a file because of some weird locking issue when trying to compile some react application that would work fine on linux

      I don’t get it though. WSL2 has been perfect for me this far. I can’t think of something I need Linux for anymore.

  Basically what the other comments said. I specifically work on data stuff so it's all python and java/scala on linux servers.
