Dear god, just use Linux. I switched years ago and never looked back. Windows feels like a bad dream now

Which would be great. I love Linux! My personal machine always runs the latest Ubuntu flavor, but if you have responsibilities in an enterprise organization that requires you use windows for it's desktop office applications you've turned Linux into a bad dream trying to be compatible with everyone else. This is a life saver. Just because an article isn't relevant to your circumstance doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

I completely agree, I am forced to use windows at work even though I full admin rights, so I have setup wsl for my dev projects. I am so happy with the flexibility it provides, having all the necessary windows apps plus a wonderful bash terminal!
