TREASON! jk. I have a Mac / linux / Chromebook (crouton) and my current customer PC is windows. Needless to say, in a fellow nerd. here are some of my thoughts (mostly gripes about windows)
I've only used WSL 1 and as a python user it's a disaster imo. Installs are HORRIBLY long and often don't work.
I've also had a lot of trouble trying to get VSC working on code stored in WSL storage.
Last gripe, I still get the occasional carriage return issue (ahhhhh!)
At the end of the day, native Linux kernel trumps the emulated Frankenstein of WSL imo. I appreciate the ability to use Linux like commands in windows but its not good enough for a daily driver. Maybe wsl2 is better (I've heard that) but at least the customer laptop I'm using doesn't have a new enough update to test it
Last comment, I actually have a similar exp to you regarding "getting distracted" except for me I get distracted on Windows because my knee jerk reaction is to game lol
Wsl2 is better but you still need to be an insider in the fast ring. Though I don’t really touch python, I do see a lot of talk of using it in windows these days.
Only game I really play is the occasional Magic arena hand now and then.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
