As someone that grew up exclusively with Windows, I didn't realize how annoying it was to install what I needed for programming until I put Linux on a hand-me-down Macbook (the HDD was dead, so I'm booting from a Thumb drive).

Now I'm on a Google Pixelbook as my personal device of choice and after resetting the Linux Container multiple times for a post I was working on, I can say I really appreciate the ease of getting up and running on Linux.

If I go back to a Windows device outside of my work machine, I'll definitely be giving WSL a go!
