I made the transition from macOS and Apple Wall Garden when Surface Pro 4 came out, as I became more fond of highly portable, multi-purpose form factor of Surface Pro devices. Naturally, I tried A LOT to get fedora - my GNU/Linux distro of choice - to run on SP4 but in early days of SP4 almost nothing worked. Although I tried fedora on SP4 again with fedora 32, and it covered almost everything about it, except for touch and pen input. That had left me little more lean towards focusing on making Windows my perfect dev OS and eventually I found that Windows 10 is really making the promises it claimed, especially with first-level support for node, python, docker, and later WSL2 which brought even better DX for docker and cross-platform development and testing.
