I use Ubuntu/OS X/Windows daily. 2 main computers A gaming dell and a 2019 16" inch MacBook. I use the dell machine from 3D modelling to Programming (mostly .net and TS), I switched from dual boot to WSL, I dont lack in anything. I have the Mac from work it is light and stylish, the gui is the worst, but thats my personal feeling, I feel really confy with windows. I dont have a direct hate to anything, But I feel like a lot of hate for win comes from ancient times.

I know about WSL but i didn't tried it yet TBH, It's a pending task that I can't face till I've some time for it (maybe on Christmas), even that I don't need to keep windows+ WSL on my laptop when having a linux is enough for coding and office tasks, it may be useful on my desk

Try out WSL2 on Win10 2004+, WSL1 is full of bugs (due to its partial kernel). Even docker can smoothlessly run on the new version (allowing you not to have Win10 pro just for it).

As for usability I suppose it's kind of subjective: I just love Plasma's environment (KDE)

I'm win 10 pro (latest version) so it's not an issue, thanks for the info, I'll check it out when possible :)
