A UNIX environment is something that I cannot live without. Furthermore Windows is also slowly throwing out their rock solid tools and replacing them with garbage. For the time being I am on a life raft using MacOS which gives me a reasonably designed GUI environment/tools + a solid UNIX foundation. But MacOS is also slowing sinking. It would be nice to have a well designed Linux environment with good simple tooling. That way you have everything: UNIX + freedom + good tools. I've tried writing my old simple tools but I seem to struggle using GTK. Its a long term goal to port all these old Windows tools to Linux(the dream is to have a FOSS Linux environment running on Apple M1 platform) but for the time being MacOS is still good enough.
