extremely based, I have no idea how any dev at my company tolerates windows.

in addition to how extremely slow and incapable the OS is in general,we have to submit tickets to run software because everything is installed through random .exes.

Lmao.

,we have to submit tickets to run software because everything is installed through random .exes.

You have to do that because your IT department doesn't trust you. There's no difference in danger between a dev with system access installing an exe or a DMG.

Install Linux subsystem for Windows and you’re golden.

Hahahahaha! No. WSL is in no way a good substitute for a real Linux system. It’s better than nothing, but that’s about it.
