I use Windows at work and dual boot windows + distro hop in home desktop (currently: Fedora) The good: - In the past 5 years my Windows development experience went from garbage to pretty good. - VS Code + devcontainers + Docker / Podman Desktop using WSL 2 as a backend was a productivity game changer for my company. - scoop and Winget made tooling much easier to install. I do most of my sysadmin tasks on Windows, not WSL. The bad: - WSL 2 still has rought edges, and you're still using a VM. - Native app / Desktop development is a mess of SDKs, 90s development patterns and for some reason it's tigly coupled to visual studio (the crappy one, not code). The ugly: - My home desktop sports 24 cores, a decent gpu and 128gb ram. Teams still feels slow. Same for some parts of the UI. - Ads / telemetry. C'mon MS, I'm paying for Windows Pro. Overall, I prefer using Windows to most Desktop Linux distro nowadays (although one could argue that's a pretty low bar).
