In my org, we don't have access to WSL. All I have from "linuxy" things is bash from git installation and few other tools git includes. Not very fresh git. But that limiting factor of my org.

The problem I ran into most using windows, which I never had in macOS - inability sometimes to copy into clipboard, or paste from clipboard: pressing ctrl+c does not change clipboard to the currently selected text in VSCode, I have to press ctrl+c three four times before clipboard changes. I recall having to do this 15+ years ago, but why this is happening is mystery.

Another problem, if I restart my laptop when it connected to 1080p monitor, and then connect it to 4k monitor at home, some apps will not support HiDPI resolution and will show up in tiny font (PuTTY hell)... so no, it is not awesome. It is horrible. Was, is and always will.
