This is a great point.

I'm going to try and onboard this thinking into my life.

If they are in fact worth $1m TC are you ok with them "only" making $600k TC?

I write C# for .Net Core and .Net Framework professionally.

I'm open to suggestions but it simply seems crazy difficult to do this outside of Windows. WSL lets me jump into *nix quickly when I need it for whatever reason. I don't need a desktop machine. Why not just use WSL?

Or just install WSL?

What's the problem with Microsoft having an answer to this?

In what concerns Microsoft, I praise them for having acknowledged the strategy error that was not giving the UNIX subsystem the same love as Win32.

Because as proven by macOS and now WSL adoption, GNU/Linux would never have taken off if PCs already had a mature set of POSIX toys, given that its users care 0% about GNU/Linux, and would be deploying to HP-UX, Solaris, Aix, Irix, Tru64 just as well.

Sure - where is this link?
