Microsoft is the standard at my current place of work. They even bought Surface Laptops for developers so Windows is the only option. At my previous job I also used Windows, but I could have used Linux (except for the occasional Word requirement). At my previous job I did not mind using Windows that much. But at my current job I do use Docker on my development system, and kind of rely on it. And this makes Windows a really annoying OS to work with. Docker for Windows is simply shit. The previous construction with the Hyper-V Linux image was a pain, and the new WSL2 based Docker for Windows is probably even worse.
