Nowadays with WSL Windows is pretty good. Pretty much anything you can do on Linux you can do on Windows.

Now, not being worse is not really a point towards Windows. For developers its absolutely not worth it tanking the horrible storage performance, preinstalled ads and handing your soul to Microsoft for the privilege of not being worse than native Linux.

Absolutely! With WSL2, one huge upside for me is that I get the best of both worlds. The driver support for Linux pales in comparison to Windows.
