      I am a Linux admin right now who does everything using Windows 11 and fedora subsystem

      Linux as a workstation is trash that people only use because they think they are cool

        I guess you only use ssh, docker or k8s? For serious software development, integration between the windows host and the Linux VM is far from seamless, or was last time I checked. Anyway, when all the software you use is unix-first, why bother jumping through hoops to make it run under an inferior OS?

        Linux let’s you have low level control over your hardware, windows blocks that.

        Running linux under windows offers nothing beyond familiarity of linux tools, which obviously are better suited to a linux environment.

        If you prefer windows it has its own closed ecosystem, but at this point its really just preference x monopoly

          Linux under Windows is in a separate container lol. You have no idea what you are talking about
