> Linux has gotten to the point that it is no longer necessary to look at MacOS for a stable Unix environment

You can add Windows 10 as an option too. WSL2 and Ubuntu is a nice combo. It’s pretty close to native.



WSL2 is still not available in a stable release of windows though.


WSL is good enough then


WSL is not good enough. I tried it, I really gave it a chance.

Breakages across Windows updates, atrocious filesystem performance, broken file permissions, so many rough edges buried deep in the issue tracker. I strongly recommend trying it but, but I can't possibly recommend it for professional use.

It's impressive, and from what I recall a small team working on it, who deserve tremendous kudos, but it's no replacement for real Linux.
