      Seconding WSL, but that kinda proves the point. The solution to making Windows dev better was to add Linux.

        No disrespect, but i must disagree.

        My last experience with WSL, about a month ago on Win 11, had it a far cry from GNU/Linux. They don’t even have a shoe-in for udev yet, and as a multimedia guy, that makes it almost unusable.

        So Windows is better than Linux because it allows you to use a restricted version of Linux?

        • And the full version of windows. Honestly I love Linux with Wine for the same reason. I just encounter more hiccups that way rather than the WSL route. It’s just more complicated to emulate GUIs.
