I am working more on Linux these days because I am too tight to upgrade from 12Gb RAM, and that seems like not enough to do dev work in Windows, but an endless bounty to do the same on Linux. Also rm -rf being instant is a big win (I know it probably isn't under the hood but I don't care, as a user I can get on with my day). Also another nice suprise - I can get photos off my iPhone without it screwing up. Not possible on Windows. I can get the original DCIM images in the weird iPhone format (which is perfectly viewable in Linux too) and I can access all the hidden files to the extend iPhone makes them avilable. I am really liking the experience. I am not into 'hacking' and just want it to get out the way and make it easy for me to install stuff and use it, so I go with Ubuntu.

It's just that Windows is dog slow at handling files (as opposed to their contents), for a multitude of reasons (I understand that there actually has been a little bit of work in recent years on some of these issues to improve performance for WSL and git).
