This is EXACTLY my story (right to the Ryzen processor). Always been a Mac developer, got windows PC for gaming, then tried to do all my development on it, with WSL making that that actually enjoyable.

The VS Code team has done a phenomenal job with VSCode remotes - it's like magic. Such an incredible architecture that allows them to do that.

Hej, almost the same for me, but after seeing steam-proton and wine overall more and more capable of running games, i consider switching to linux. Even Microsoft accepts that linux is so important today, that they started to do a hole lot to emulate/integrate it. Why bother with an emulation, when you can get the real deal?
