      YMMV, but here are some reasons

      • Some people prefer to use Linux.
      • Some software runs better on Linux than Windows or Mac (e.g. Docker runs natively on Linux but on Windows and Mac the Docker desktop creates a Linux VM to run Docker on).
      • You have a portable, local development environment without Virtual Machines.

      I have a laptop that belongs to my employer and a personal Linux laptop. It is quicker to use the Linux machine than to work out if I can now install WSL 2 or find a Linux instance to do some Linux work.

      I experience people telling me the computer runs slower on Linux every day, good to have yet another, updated, link to prove otherwise.
