I am! I reckon it's a neat OS. They've improved it dramatically (except for that... Candy Crush auto install, that is annoying).

I have used WSL a lot, and now I use VS Code Remote to develop on a Debian 10 VPS. It's glorious.

Being able to build a custom computer that I can do work on, and that I can play games on, and that run the Adobe suite of software, and not pay through the nose for high specs is wonderful.

After 10 year of using Apple and OS X, I felt patronised having to pay double the price for performance. The nail for me was when OS updated were forced through their Apple Store.

Windows 10 updates are far more seamless.

They have moved away from that now, updates are managed through preferences again.
