I'd say that WSL is the only thing that makes Windows tolerable at this point. Last place I was at the IT/Ops guys were testing Linux support, would have been a nice option.

Yeah, can understand that, pretty much what I run the most is my browser, vs code and a terminal window (docker, programming tools, etc) which run pretty much everywhere.  New job starts monday, will be back on a Mac, which has its' own quirks.

Have been considering giving Resolve a try, may just pony up for full version anyway.  I was wanting to play around with AI video upscaling, but most of the options were windows only, and after close to two years still haven't done anything with it.

 Ta> My workshop PC runs Windows 10, and it will almost certainly become a
 Ta> Linux machine in 2025 - I'd do it now except it's not a 5 minute change!

That's cool, at this point, I'm mostly Linux, my laptop is mac, and pretty much everything else I touch is running Linux as well.
