You are very lucky that you weren't part of the November 2020 launch day chaos. Lots of software used by the developer ecosystem completely didn't work at all.

Now some of the most of the essentials should work completely out of the box.

But it depends, what sort of work do you wish to use it for? Backend, Frontend, Mobile, Web? It all depends, but more generally at the time of launch last year, you would be very disappointed.
