The closest thing to Linux that I can use at work is MacOS. And credit where credit is due, apple makes some damn good hardware. There's not even the start of a competition going on against the ThinkPad I had before asking for a Mac. Everything except the keyboard is so far ahead in terms of feel, performance, fan noise, display quality, efficiency and more that I'm skipping. While WSL is pretty cool, it just sucks, about once a week for me it would simply crash and take 100% of the CPU and 100% of the RAM and the only way to get it back is to try running a command in a computer that is barely responding to my keyboard inputs. So yeah I'll stick with a native Unix shell that doesn't stop to a crawl when it's being used hard. Marcos definitely has its drawbacks but non of them really affect what I use the computer for at work
