However, Linux started to become an infatuation at Redmond and they became to embrace it starting with Azure. The confusing name for WSL made it hard to understand what this feature was for the one who was uninitiated. (Keep in mind the Headings can be clicked to go to the application’s website) Windows Subsystem for Linux Going back to Redmond’s offering has forced me to search extensively for software that would fill in these holes requiring quite some experimentation. Moving to Windows created some gaps in my workflow that I felt slowing and holding me down. Linux has spoiled me quite a bit and I got used to some its applications, features and quirks. I made some backups and wiped everything out for a Windows 10 install. I had to sift through documentation and wikis for hours to find out a solution and since I only owned one system, I had to relegate myself to my phone’s tiny screen. As my responsibilities in life grew and my career as well, I didn’t have time anymore to deal with all the shenanigans and challenges that this operating system brought to my life.Įventually, I got disillusioned with Linux and was tired of wrestling with it because the new update just borked my GPU drivers once again being presented with a black screen when booting up my system. I realized that most of my day was spent configuring the operating system rather than actually getting work done.

I felt superior to others because I could handle something so daunting and intimidating. I preached it like I was preaching a religion.

For a good part of my life, I was a Linux zealot.
