I'm buying a new computer. Currently I have only ubuntu linux machines and was just saying to someone that I would actually consider trying windows and WSL because it would let me use the linux tools I want alongside MS office, and it might be interesting to play with windows versions of things. The reason I wont actually do it though is because I'm sure that windows will be filled with commercially oriented intrusions and annoyances that I don't see in linux. I admit I am hypersensitive to that kind of thing, but getting reminders and popups from the task bar etc destroys my concentration. Maybe there is a way to shut all that down but I always felt like windows was bothering me about stuff a lot more than linux ever does.
Solve that and I may be a convert.
