I wish I could but several clients only use Windows computers so I have to use the Linux subsystem to make my dev environment a bit more bearable.

This is basically how Microsoft is taking over Linux. It has already started and the few of us that saw it coming since day one can't do anything about that.

Another option is to use Linux and try your best to run essential Windows software using Wine or in a VM, that way you can play in the Windows-world without being committed to it. It "Works For Me"...

Can't do that either. They give you their laptops without access to install extra things unless you call someone from their helpdesk.
