Very little support for W10 in here, which is understandable.

I just recently switched back from a work Linux config and a hybrid Mac config to a full W10 config for a variety of reasons, the largest being that W10 is solid, performant and doesn’t feel as limiting as Mac, or distracting and warty as Linux, when I’m programming.

I think that if you remove the crap preinstalled on Windows, which is trivial for an experienced Windows user, and you don't have a work laptop with a ton of corporate management-ware installed, Windows 10 is super snappy, stable and with WSL you also get quite a few Linux goodies.

If you approach it with an open and flexible mind, it's at least equal to Linux or Mac desktops, for developers.
