Windows 10 and 11, with WSL 2 I get all the benefits of Linux with little drawbacks. I used to use various flavours of Linux for quite some time but I got really tired of maintaining that system so I went back to Windows. Unfortunately Windows "just works" while with Linux every update felt like rolling some dice to see if my system still boots with a GUI the next day. Currently I work 100% remotely, I can not afford to have my PC to just stop working for a day or more. For servers I keep using Linux and it has been rock solid for that. Maybe I will make an another attempt in the future, I have a notebook that I use to try some distros. So far nothing impressed me enough to try to make the switch again.
