If you can, great. For a lot of us Windows is a reality we've made our peace with so having WSL is great. And tbh, W10 has been basically rock solid for me.

How is it a reality that you HAVE to make peace with? I've been interviewing a lot lately, and the vast, vast majority of workplaces have no problem with me running Linux as my daily driver. Most even offer Macs.
If you use ME or EE CAD apps or do anything in the space of measurement, controls and automation Windows is pretty much a given.
I can relate to your pain. At a previous position we had special windows workstations to deal with all of windows-specific software, and all of our personal workstations were using linux.

Now that I manage teams, I don't care about what OS people use. The more productive they are the better. The only dev (over 15 people) that used windows told me after a few months he regretted keeping windows on his machine !

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy...
