Having not touched windows for almost a decade and getting told I had to use a windows 10 laptop to work on... well Frustration. That said the performance of the OS is pretty good. When I learned Powershell wasnt available at cmd things got a bit better. Ended up with a Linux VM simply because I dont have time to figure out how to reproduce simple Linux CLI commands on windows.

Every consider trying WSL? It's built into windows and gives you a full linux shell

Thanks. I will look into this when I get a chance. I am sort of hoping to convince people I dont need windows.
