Personally I also would not quit/back out just from that, but “it’s not my machine” misses the point, IMO. It’s a device I’m expected to use ~40 hours a week. Windows fucking sucks. Using that trash for half of my waking hours sucks. Been there, done that, I hope to hell I never have to again.

    The fuck are you doing in it?

    I’m a software engineer and we use windows. 90% of my day is spent in Visual Studio Professional. The rest is split between chrome, outlook, teams, postman, and SQL server management studio.

    I literally never go to the start menu. I have shortcut icons on the bar for everything I need.

    In my experience with windows there's just a slight lagginess everywhere. I've had full gaming PCs still feel laggy just in Vscode. It's not bad but it's a small pain point that I don't want to experience for 40 hours a week.

    I’m was working on software that doesn’t exclusively target windows. Windows is only a decent dev environment if you’re targeting nothing but Windows. Any other kind of development is a worse, potentially way worse experience than it is on Linux. Using docker on Windows is painful. Using git is painful. Using bash is painful. The list goes on forever.
