This was a good read! Linux is amazing for coding but a lot of people aren't ready to switch from windows. Get your feet wet with WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Its just the terminal (Bash same as OS X) but It will get you familiar with the file system and you can even install a desktop environment like Gnome or XFCE

That's me! I'm trying to get used to the feel of Linux by using it in a VM.

Thanks! I'm not familiar with using WSL but sounds like a good stepping stone before switching to Linux. Thanks for sharing :)
