I've been using it for years on windows. Magit is much slower but still great. Some people run emacs inside wsl, and I've done that once or twice to try out unix-only modes, but they were never good enough to convince me to use them.

My life improved a lot when I switched to Doom emacs, which takes care of a lot of emacs stuff I don't know that well.

Magit is unusably slow on windows, I never tried it on Linux, but on windows its slow to the point of making it unusable

Part of Git appeal is speed, because it works locally, magit on windows take that away

I hope on Linux it is actually fast, otherwise I would not know how to explain its fame and reputation
