Fun read. Is mind blowing that I haven't had a Windows machine in over 2 decades at this point. I have had some MacBooks, but mainly because that is what companies would buy for me.

My personal machines have been Ubuntu or derivative for a long time now. To the point that I don't even know what I'm missing in alternatives, anymore. Used to be it was games, Steam has been a blessing there.

^ my exact history too.

I've had a couple dual boot windows and I couldn't even figure out how to code on it effectively. (web dev js stuff)

To this day I don't understand if I am meant to have git bash, command prompt or powershell, or all of them or what.

Mac's are reliable, but I personally find them clunky for standard development.

Ubuntu is my safe place, the UX/DX makes the most sense to me.

Just OOC, do you currently run a stock Ubuntu distro or a derivative? (and if so, may I ask which one?)

I bought a System76 machine a while back. So, their distro has been fine by me.
