I just might switch to linux instead.
- themodelplumber 5y agoYou can always fall back on the Linux Subsystem for Windows GUI, aka WINE/DOSBox/VMW/VBX/QEMU, with varying levels of integration/fiddle/config.

- speed_spread 5y agoMost corporate PC users do not have that option. WSL solves that.
- smackeyacky 5y agoThis is the most plausible explanation. Since most of the newer dev frameworks use very unix like CLI, windows as a dev operating system was feeling very left out. VSCode made this painfully obvious. Most corporates would just offer you a mac instead. WSLg is pretty cool, but if you have a choice, running ubuntu or debian is better, with emulation for whatever windows legacy stuff you need to support.
- pjmlp 5y agoWhat dev frameworks? The ones I use, work perfectly fine in Visual Studio and Eclipse, and Powershell does the rest.
