I feel pretty fortunate to be able to turn down jobs where I'd need to use windows as a daily driver. I don't mind using it occasionally, and I've gotten quite good at targeting Windows cross compiling from Linux, but using it daily just grinds me into a paste.

I mostly use Macs for work now, and while they do a pretty good job of exposing a Unix environment, they've been getting steadily worse over the past couple of years. I've had so many problems with recent critical OS patches that I'm debating convincing my employer to let me have a Linux machine, not that I would ever recommend that for a company who wants their employees to be productive.

That being said I'm actually really impressed at how good Linux on the Desktop is right now. I've got my whole family running KDE on NixOS and it's basically flawless.
