I have used both Windows and Ubuntu, and now Windows only with WSL for dev. I don't get what dislike about Windows tbh. I've never truly used OSX, so maybe my opinion isn't useful.

I have had 0 issues with WSL thus far, am quite happy with it.

Do you ever find it an issue that your WSL filesystem is generally seperate from the standard windows filesystem (e.g. incompatible line endings, weird permissions etc). Also do you connect your editor to the WSL filesystem version of the repo remotely? Or are you able to do it “locally” as well?

I’ve found using WSL often feels like using two computers except the Linux one is generally headless.

It feels like using one computer to me. I have only used it since WSL2 came out--maybe that accounts for the difference?

With VSCode, it feels native to edit code on WSL.
