Discussion on: Why I'm sort of leaving Linux

I've been using Linux for a year now. I can't explain how many times I had to mess with a config file or do another sudo thing and restart just to get something working.

I like using Linux. But I also really hate how much time it eats up just to get the damn thing working.

All the complaints about windows? I probably have a problem once every few months. But with my Linux machine? It's almost every few days.

Where windows doesn't help is in web development and rolling out servers. Honestly, I'm starting to see the appeal of Macs just to have a coding machine.

But linux... While I'm still using it as my primary, I'm not convinced I can recommend it to most developers.

As far as web dev is concerned, wsl takes care of most things if you haven’t given it a go.
