Random anecdote: I use Docker as my universal package manager for a large majority of my tools/workflows. I was so pleased when the Docker + WSL2 integration was released as it made all of my Docker workflows on Linux/MacOS + a POSIX shell (BASH, ZSH, etc.) totally functional on Windows. I'm a big fan of WSL2.

This is one area I've not been able to completely ditch Windows. Valve is doing some great work to get Windows games running on Linux in Steam but I find myself playing a bunch of games that are not in Steam with an anti-cheat engine that sucks in Proton. I hope more external game launchers/stores and anti cheat engines are motivated by Valve to implement Linux (or emulated) support.
- mst 4y agoI love being a linux/BSD server admin. I totally cannot be arsed being a desktop admin for either. So I use WSL2+Xsrv to give me my -client- environment on windows and then use that to ssh into servers to actually do stuff. Meanwhile, windows acts as a fat driver layer that provides firefox and my X11 setup and easy access to games. I am in no way recommending this. But it works for me.
