I have been using linux, mostly Pop OS, for the last several years. Haven’t really touched Windows since maybe Windows 8 came out. Very happy with linux.
I just bought a new laptop that had Windows 11 installed, and I was travelling, so I didn’t do the usual format and install linux right away. I thought I’ll maybe keep windows installed and then try to dual boot so if I need Windows for anything specific, I will still have it installed. And I thought I’ll just wait a few weeks until I get home to do that.
But with the Windows Subsytem for Linux thing they have now, I have an Ubuntu install running inside Windows and it works really well. Connects directly with VSCode, Ubuntu has access to Windows filesystem, Ubuntu comes up as my default when I open terminal, Oh-My-Zsh installed perfectly.
I’m sure at some point I’ll find something really annoying with Windows and just scrap it, but for now it’s easier to just keep running Windows and access Ubuntu through it.
