Totally agree about the kids thing. Being a parent should always take precedence over working(besides working extra to fund the basic needs of the household). Good point :)
It just works. I don't want to have to invest time in making my os work. I want to spend my time on my projects(which I use wsl for)
I totally understand the desire and satisfaction of having complete control over your os but a lot of people just want to be able to do simple stuff like game and browse the web which windows does just fine in my experience.
I really only want Linux for software dev work(docker mostly). Windows has wsl which has worked beautifully for me besides memory leaks a couple times a year. The issues I face with wal pale in comparison to my experience dealing with Nvidia drivers and gaming on Linux.
Great writeup! I've been doing a project with a 2gb 1vcpu vps as my host and one compose file. It is so much simpler than past project that I used aws for.
Because it's for entertainment purposes... I can watch horror movies and not be a fan of people being murdered. What a terrible take.
