If a MacBook Pro runs hot or shows high kernel CPU, try charging it on the right

I jumped to Linux in October when I built my new desktop... so many issues... After so much time battling with MacOS and Linux Desktop on different issues... was actually surprised how much I like WSL2 in Windows of all things. Only been using it since early March, had to jump back to windows for a project.

Definitely a better experience than I remember a year and a half or so ago. The new MS terminal works pretty well, and the Docker WSL2 support is very seamless. VS Code with WSL extensions works great. I spend most of my time in that space and have had so few issues.

Note: editing \\wsl$ files in windows is a little slow, same for wsl editing mounted windows drives... but in the sandbox has been really great.

Yeah I hear you. It took me over a decade before I stopped bouncing off of Linux and going back to windows or Mac. It took more knowledge about working with Linux subsystems, as well as building a stable config that I checked into git. As mentioned, you really have to meet it half way, but once you get over that hump it is definitely more productive and simple than Mac and windows.
