It sounds like you really just need Linux and can skip Windows.

FWIW, all this WSL stuff is mostly Microsoft trying to Extend, Embrace and Extinguish Linux.

My point exactly! I've been making that case for a while and I think I'm gaining some traction.


I've had to work with macOS in the past, and I was simply honest about where my time went. If I wasted all day trying to make something basic work in it, I'd just say so in standup.

Eventually, my manager proposed paying for a VMware licence and I could run Linux on that.

I still had to suffer with multiple displays (the macOS host had to detect them before the VM could use them), but I finally stayed getting work done.
