A great summary that should encourage more Linux developers to use Windows. Lots of utility with WSL2 and Hyper-V built in, you can run any Linux distro you like with a single click from the MS Store, while enjoying the great performance and UX on Windows 11 (once you turn off the ads -- yeah I know). I use a combination of VS Code with WSL2 Debian -- so it's identical to my prod environment. It's polished, consistent with prod and efficient on my hardware. Compared to the Mac I find the Windows experience to be far better, because of the native Hyper-V VM support, better Linux compatibility with WSL2 and the much more diverse hardware options. The PC ecosystem is incredible. Even the Windows ecosystem is nice, Visual Studio Community is free, the CLI compiler is available, winget makes installs easier, Powershell has a lot of utility and Windows Terminal is excellent. Given that you can pick up a capable mini PC for about $200 , it's worth testing out. Windows is great for Linux development.
