And the full version of windows. Honestly I love Linux with Wine for the same reason. I just encounter more hiccups that way rather than the WSL route. It’s just more complicated to emulate GUIs.
My last experience with WSL, about a month ago on Win 11, had it a far cry from GNU/Linux. They don’t even have a shoe-in for udev yet, and as a multimedia guy, that makes it almost unusable.

Of recent features, what exactly makes it better for development?
Not OP, But WSL and its recent improvements come to mind. If you’re deploying on a Linux box it makes it pretty seamless to develop.
So Windows is better than Linux because it allows you to use a restricted version of Linux?

No disrespect, but i must disagree.

Seconding WSL, but that kinda proves the point. The solution to making Windows dev better was to add Linux.
