@itsfoss long aswr:
Yes I've used WSL at work and it was good. I've compiled my code in WSL before uploading it to the MCU. Getting the arm none eabi compiler running on windows with my employers UAC settings was not possible and asking IT would've taken ages as I was only an intern.

WSL is a good way to bypass UAC restrictions 😝.

Only later I found out I could've just asked for an Ubuntu install and WSL was overly complicated.

@itsfoss finding my previously executed commane in the history.
Although it became much easier with atuin 😂

@itsfoss for a couple of years. As my primary OS I must have started maybe late 2019 or sometime in 2020.
But I had Linux as a secondary OS installed all the back to I guess 2014.
I switched because of gaming (mod in a game caused GPU memory leaking on Win). But I stayed because of the ease of use, it just works. Installing software is a breeze compared to windows. The package manager just does everything for you.

@itsfoss Same KWin + Plasma. It's modern, customizable and looks really good.

@itsfoss I personally wouldn't use an immutable distro, because haw you dare to prevent me from breaking my system 😂.

But for a novice it's kinda perfect.

Also fixing his system would entail a two hour ride by train or car.

I considered NixOS for him too, but I figured it's probably less for beginners.

@itsfoss I just installed VanillaOS as my brothers first Linux distro yesterday. That over night VanillaOS 2 went von alpha to beta is kinda cool.

The primary reason I selected VanillaOS for him is the immutability. It means less work for me, as he can't break the system.
