The vast majority of my real world experience has not been that at all. Then I looked up the benchmarks

Also I use older Desktops and I have very quick experience running my scripts and Ranger. Having Ranger alone is HUGE for my workflow. Then I have awk, sed and grep at my finger tips?

Personally I would take Windows 10 WSL over any of my AppleOS experience. I really think the machines know I don't like Apple because for the past 25 years they always lockup, crash or over write what i do with them.

The file IO / compile benchmarks are realistic workloads. Look at: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=wsl-febr...
