Seeing David Heinemeier Hansson so excited about Linux on the desktop and building his ultimate web developer setup https://omarchy.org/ is inspiring! Check out the first 5 minutes of the video on the front page

Haha, amazing what Windows users get exited about. Everything he shows is like 20 years old tech.

I get it though. I had to build one of my apps on Windows the other day and setting up the environment (in a VM) was way more painful than I expected. Windows is simply not built for devs. You can develop on it if you really want but it just doesn't feel natural.

MS tried to turn Windows into a good dev environment, and they best they could come up with was WSL.
