counterpoint as a dev who works with k8s and wants a linux env:. I was told to get a mac when I joined and I wish I hadnt. WSL and vscode remote ssh make windows better for linux dev. the alternative is getting a parallels license. I mainly use vscode to remote to linux machines now and ignore my mac and wish it didn't exist. also as a longtime windows user i think the windows desktop is just better. window management, multimonitor, hell even launching apps is slow as shit on my mac m1 compared to my windows pc.

bottom line: I dont know what dev workflows are better on mac, but if its linux, windows is now more linuxy than mac. imo.

Disagree, after doing WSL2 development for 2 years, and switching to mac, it's way nicer now. Mostly because, Windows is still crap, and windows laptops are the worse. WSL2 is also pretty bad with GUIs, even with everything I tried.

I don't use Windows, but WSL is legit IMO
