I was such a huge fan of WSL that I even bought a distro from the Windows Store. I came to Windows from years of Linux/BSD, and I wanted to bridge the gap. I even managed to get Arch on WSL.
Honestly, it has been a long time since I've fired up anything but PowerShell Core in my Windows Terminal. At this point, unless I need to reach for jupyter notebooks again, I'm not sure what I will use WSL for, and it kind of makes me sad.
It's inspiring that you can have Linux in your Windows environment, and you can run PowerShell Core on Linux. We live in an exciting time!
I did not know that one can purchase any distro and that too optimized for WSL. 😀 Thanks for the info.
And honestly I think, people using MacOs or a Linux will rarely switch to Windows. I think never ever. Windows is for newbies like me 😁 . I use Excel, and a data visualization software Tableau, that's why I need to use Windows.
And I am sure you have heard of Kaggle Kernels and Google Colabs for Jupyter notebooks. I have used in the past but for basic exploratory data analysis. They look promising.

Hi Jesse,

Ooo, I'm actually fairly new to python and data science, so those are brand new tools for me to check out. Thanks!
Never say never! I made the switch. 😊
Mac users, though … they're probably the toughest sell of all.
Definitely check Kaggle and Google ones. They are extremely useful.
Couldn't agree more 😁
I use linux for programming but dual boot windows for games, linux is just not as good in terms of gaming performance
