>Hilarious considering it is, by far, the most used desktop operating system.

You think so? The latest Stackoverflow survey says otherwise: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-...

"Linux 53.3%, Windows 50.7% MacOS 22.2%"

Yes, since the question is slightly open, this could refer to target platforms instead of what the actual developers are using on their desktops. Still, a nice-looking datapoint ;)

Anecdotally, as an IT chief I see developers who use Windows struggle with tasks that are simple in Linux and MacOS. There's a reason why a) MacOS won so many developers and why b) Microsoft is spending so many resources making WSL/WSL2.
