As a long-time Windows user, from 3.11 onwards, sometime Macbook owner and a Linux tinkerer on spare devices, Windows 11 is a step backwards in UI with all it's inconsistencies and forceful but poor implementation of new features. Linux, the distros I've tinkered with, seems to be more polished and consistent across the board.

Only reason I still use Windows is AAA games and MS SQL Server, which I prefer using SSMS to control.

Funny, I've gotten into using the VS Code extensions a lot.. I liked the Azure SQL Manager or whatever it was called based on Code as well... I do wish the Microsoft Extensions for SQL were more in line with other database managers though.

That said, it's nice to use SQL from code directly in projects. Also, if you're on x86_64, you can always use SQL via Docker pretty easily if you aren't using the more advanced features. That said, I have a Windows Server VM expressly for testing MS-SQL.. I need to finish my ODBC based driver for Deno/Bun/Node (supporting FileStream).
