My daily driver is Debian WSL2, using wezterm (highly recommend) + tmux for terminal, and vscode integration for IDE. Aside from struggles getting custom subdomains to point to localhost, things have been quite stable.

I never thought I’d be saying this, but I find the Windows window manager the best out of the box, and as a bonus I get to do my unreal/vr dev side projects without booting into another OS.

I stayed on WSL1 for the shared localhost. And WSL2 still have some performance issues related to memory usage and Disk IO.

But yeah, I agree, Windows 10 has a great UX. I switched to windows because of the WSL, and I end up using it less and less over time: ssh, ansible, and avoiding cross-compiling toolchains when building releases, that's about it.

Yeah, I am in a similar boat. WSL 2 with Docker build environments gives me faster build times than my Mac. My default Windows Terminal is a Linux prompt with Zsh. It works surprisingly well. I built a Windows gaming rig and then wondered, “hmmm-this thing is fast. Can I work on it too?” And was delighted that our tool chain didn’t need any tweaking.
Does windows have super button to move and resize. Also im way more used to x style focus on hover. Windows is missing this.
