For development Unix-like OSes are far superior to Windows. Macs mostly work OOTB but are far too expensive if you need anything more than the base config. As for me, never had issues with my mic and webcam under Ubuntu and even Arch, pipewire Just Works in my experience.
I am not a techy person, not a programmer, nada, and linux (particularly fedora) has always worked with little to no issue for me.
The hardest thing I really ever have to do is enable the rpm fusion repos on a fresh install, and the only problem I consistently encounter is discord trying to take control of, and subsequently destroy, my audio when using bluetooth headphones.
I just use it because it is an easier, privacy & user respecting system.
A container with what permissions? Please prove me wrong and do a gpu pass through. Oh wait its a container so it still is CONTAINED within windows, and inherits its limitations.
Just run Linux with wine/VM if you really got such a windows hard on, wine van essentially be used as a windows container
Exactly, hence why gpu pass through is impossible. Due to a limitation on windows. Cause the install isnt nearly equivalent to a full linux install. Its almost like it has a reduced set of features
I guess you only use ssh, docker or k8s? For serious software development, integration between the windows host and the Linux VM is far from seamless, or was last time I checked. Anyway, when all the software you use is unix-first, why bother jumping through hoops to make it run under an inferior OS?
I’m probably the only person in this thread who actually makes money using Linux
Lol. Cute. In another comment you mentioned being born in the 90s. Some of us have been making money using linux since you were in early elementary school.

Hell I’ve never even had audio issues on oracle linux, everything else is broken but the audio
You can get Linux subsystem for Windows in a single click, problem solved
lmao, mine as well being a cup of water to the desert and tell a fish their problem is solved
I am a Linux admin right now who does everything using Windows 11 and fedora subsystem
Linux as a workstation is trash that people only use because they think they are cool

Linux let’s you have low level control over your hardware, windows blocks that.
Running linux under windows offers nothing beyond familiarity of linux tools, which obviously are better suited to a linux environment.
If you prefer windows it has its own closed ecosystem, but at this point its really just preference x monopoly
Linux under Windows is in a separate container lol. You have no idea what you are talking about

You don’t needs a pass through. It’s a container, not a vm!

Nah once you get used to Linux, it’s hard to go back to Windows, it has nothing to do with what I think is cool.
I am literally a Linux system administrator
Like literally a third of the people here. Big deal, means less than nothing.
Installing Linux on your home computer doesn’t make you a sysadmin
Most of the people here don’t know fuck all, it’s obvious by just this conversation
I’m probably the only person in this thread who actually makes money using Linux
Keep dreaming buddy.
There is always a bigger fish.

Being a sysadmin doesn’t make you a desktop user
Which qualifies your opinion about GNU+Linux workstations how?
Because I administer them and get paid a lot to do so? Idk lol
Above you acknowledged that there’s a difference for desktop and server cases.
You do know you can just say you prefer Windows as your desktop?
