Windows is good, even though I use Mac as my daily runner, prefer to use Windows much if you are into core development
What do you mean by core development?
For Me Linux
I prefer linux for Development.
Give WSL2 a chance also
i prefer Mac
I prefer Linux. Because I haven't Mac😅
I love both. I really don't have a favourite tbh, they both have their uses
I have coded in Linux and Windows and my personal preference is Linux just because that's the platform that target platform work related tasks is Linux (I also coded in MVS/zOS but that's beyond the scope of this exercise). Both have each strengths and weaknesses, therefore better is a somewhat relative term. In my case, what drives my choice is the target platform.
I'm a huge Linux fan/user for 10 years now. I used it everyday on all of my development machines.
I bought my first gaming pc at the beginning of this year, so I've installed Windows on it.
But I thought maybe I could use it for work as well, as it's an 'MHz Monster' - if you know what I mean :). And WOW. I was so surprised how well WSL2 integrated into the operating system. I do not even see that I'm on a Windows machine. I can install whatever I want on the Ubuntu running in WSL2. VSCode is also connecting to that WSL instance. Perfect.
I'm also running some of my development environment in docker, which is perfectly working.
I recommend testing it!
Wow that's cool to hear. I'm on windows and I've always wanted to explore linux
In XXI century, It shouldn't matter. It should matter WHAT you build, not how and with what Technology. Or maybe my concern is from Xxiii or XXIV century...
Windows with WSL 2
