I've been using Linux on at least 1 machine, if not my main machine since 1996. I enjoy developing on it, even developing for Windows.

I used to hate developing on Windows because the updates reboot me all the time, but WSL has made most other complaints that I had go away. As far as audio or other devices not working, that happens with Windows as well pretty much any time that I install it on a freshly built machine.

I think that if Linux was the OEM OS, like with Purism, System 76, and even some Dell machines, then there would be minimal problems.
