FWIW I was a die hard Linux user for ten years, and I usually never ran a desktop environment in favor of tmux and vim. About a year ago I started a new job at a dotnet shop and had to switch to Windows. I dreaded it at first, and I still do have to fight the OS to preserve my privacy, but overall I am loving it. Vscode with the new wsl extensions and vim bindings is the best IDE I've ever used, and the new terminal emulator is amazing. The upcoming version of WSL will be shipping a full linux kernel, and having the software library of Windows with the productivity of Linux is a win win as far as I'm concerned. Using so much closed source software makes me feel yucky, but I've never been more productive. YMMV.
