    Probably, most of the time, but for work I need a completely different set of software to just work. Trying to get a lot of my scripts, libraries and tools working on Windows is such an exercise in frustration that it’s not worth the bother.

    It’s actually 1000x easier to get Windows software working on Linux than Linux software working on Windows.

      Tried WSL? It is decent.

        Sure, but if you’re so keen on being able to do things that only work on Linux, then even with WSL and all the other workarounds, it’s just a bit of a pain in the arse not to just use Linux directly, isn’t it?
