As someone who very much dislikes the Linux/Unix philosophy, I'm happy to see diversity.

You mean Windows subsystem for Linux.

Having a full Windows desktop with a Linux install saves me from formatting and partitioning into yet another installation mess that Linux still has and choosing a distro while not messing around with display managers or searching around why some apps do not display correctly when connecting to an external monitor.

The best Linux distro is Windows (with WSL).
