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.
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
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?
