MacOS X -> Windows 10 convert here. Also Linux user for 15+ years. My experiences: Windows 10 support for things is fantastic. It's faster than Mac OS X and Linux for me. It multitasks better. The HDPI support is very mature compared to Windows 7/8. Multi-monitors just work. I love snapping windows (via corners and hot keys). Also Windows Key + Shift + S to click+drag screenshots to clipboard. Everything just works. Or the driver is a Google away. Wireless printers and scanners. Bluetooth headphones. Apps like slack, trello, spotify. While I haven't used the Surface, I was considering one for development, but the repairability on the Surface Book 2 (if that's what you mean) is worse than the Macbook Pro: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Microsoft+Surface+Book+2+Teardown/100364 https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Microsoft+Surface+Book+2+Tea... On the other hand, Windows 10 "just works" on a lot of hardware. I recommend Lenovo X and T series. Dell XPS series are getting good reviews. WSL: I'm running webpack via npm, postgres, django and flask. I keep the project files in the windows layer and symlink it into WSL. I turn off Defender because it's the only way to work. WSL is far too slow for me to use Defender on. Despite that, I turn a lot of call home stuff off. There's tons of telemetry stuff that adds no value. I tried W10Privacy and OOSU10 for it. I wish Microsoft would just add a button to turn all the cloud cruft/call home stuff off. There is a nasty issue where running rm -rf node_modules that can cause the system to freeze. So go into explorer to remove that with shift+delete. Sometimes I still have to restart. Microsoft has won a lot of confidence from me with Windows 10, VSCode, and WSL.
