Wow, this was almost my exact experience (except that I had somehow gone through life never using Windows). Using WSL is working out pretty well for me for the most part, except networking seems to break when the corporate VPN is on that I'm required to use (which is very irritating). I find myself prototyping things on my personal Linux laptop and only using the corporate machine for required company stuff. It's been an awful experience.
