microsoft: ill just put linux in the windows
Imagine no WSL, no nothing. The only way to use Bash/Zsh is to use either a full blown VM or switch to Linux. All coders would 100% move to Linux, except that code in C++++.
I just develop in a VM that I SSH into from windows. No need for anything beyond the initial use of a windows terminal

I switched to Linux over a decade ago, love it. I'm currently running MXLinux. I may eventually try something that isn't Debian based.
Obligatory Nixos Comment
But only if you're willing to invest Time and Effort into learning it.
But if you do, you'll absolutely love it.
I liked it at first, but then I ran into some really weird shit. Re-installing didn't erase the previous install, programs I installed disappeared after reboot, etc. This might be caused by the jankiness of UEFI, I don't know. I'm never buying another HP laptop after they pulled this shit with UEFI. It's given me so many headaches.
What's the pun?
If windows 12 actually does require a monthly subscription, more people will probably consider Linux....
no need to quote echo args :P
I mean it's good practice generally just in case, even when it's not needed it makes it more maintainable
I usually go with YAGNI but shell quoting can get to be a pain so I try to do it right in scripts or aliases
But for a single one-off invocation lol definitely not quoting echo args
