On: Linux on the Desktop as a Web Developer

[Boulth]

I worked on Windows for two decades and tried WSL1. Windows is not super annoying but as a developer all my tools were actually Linux native or cross platform so one day I just cut the middle man and switched to Linux. It wasn't such a big leap but my productivity definitely increased.

WSL is nice when you don't have choice. Linux is actually the optimum choice for most developers.

Absolutely agree with your last two sentences. WSL is a nice stop-gap but I'd much prefer the real thing.
