    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 am not a techy person, not a programmer, nada, and linux (particularly fedora) has always worked with little to no issue for me.

      The hardest thing I really ever have to do is enable the rpm fusion repos on a fresh install, and the only problem I consistently encounter is discord trying to take control of, and subsequently destroy, my audio when using bluetooth headphones.

      I just use it because it is an easier, privacy & user respecting system.

      Linux let’s you have low level control over your hardware, windows blocks that.

      Running linux under windows offers nothing beyond familiarity of linux tools, which obviously are better suited to a linux environment.

      If you prefer windows it has its own closed ecosystem, but at this point its really just preference x monopoly

        Linux under Windows is in a separate container lol. You have no idea what you are talking about

          A container with what permissions? Please prove me wrong and do a gpu pass through. Oh wait its a container so it still is CONTAINED within windows, and inherits its limitations.

          Just run Linux with wine/VM if you really got such a windows hard on, wine van essentially be used as a windows container

            You don’t need a pass through. It’s a container, not a vm!

              Exactly, hence why gpu pass through is impossible. Due to a limitation on windows. Cause the install isnt nearly equivalent to a full linux install. Its almost like it has a reduced set of features

      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?
