>Nobody is actually doing any serious work on ML stuff on laptops.

Was just training a 52gb radiology model. Please point me in the direction of any other platform that can do that for 5k.

>Windows has WSL2

Macos can run VMs too.

>here is a particular bug that doesn't exist on Macs

Yes, my laptop doesn't require a hard reboot after closing the lid. Linux fans won't understand this. If you want more particular bugs, network drivers, amd video cards, trackpad not clicking on the login screen, screen resizing, external monitors via usbc, TweaksUI as a concept. There's no point pretending this isn't a thing, everyone has a story.

As I said, I'm not new here. I've been using linux for 20 years. Linux desktop is garbage no matter the tangent you want to explore. I have 3 developers using windows so know all about developing ai with wsl and the fun problems that come along with that.
