   I've got a Win11 laptop and even fired it up yesterday to refresh my   
   memory on WSL but usually it's a base for various projects, horizontal   
   surfaces being what they are.   
      
   I don't dislike Windows and used it at work since our clients ran Windows   
   but there is nothing I use that isn't available on Linux. I mean the exact   
   application, not a close substitute. For a sublime level of ridiculousness   
   I even built a .NET IoT application on Linux and transferred it to a   
   Raspberry Pi 5 to make the LEDs blinken.   
      
   I don't want to blame that experiment but the Bookworm OS on the Pi   
   started taking minutes to boot so I burned a microSD with Trixe that boots   
   fine. fwiw, Bookworm was on a Samsung Evo and the new one is on a Amazon   
   Basics. I've had excellent luck with the Basics cables etc and that   
   apparently extends to microSD cards.
