This is a similar situation to mine. I tried running Linux on my work laptop, ran into too many issues that made it unreliable. Especially during business trips, when I really needed my laptop to work.
Not to mention that I still needed to use business tools that are only available on Windows. Redacting and signing PDFs in Acrobat, creating images for Windows machines (I’m also the IT department), Autodesk software, etc.
Windows + WSL allows me to get the best of both worlds, with all my Linux apps running alongside my Windows ones on the same hypervisor. I just wish they would support PCI device passthrough, as part of my job involves writing and debugging kernel drivers for some custom FPGA accelerators.
Wind turbines actually have a fuckload of grease and oil in them. I used to work for a company that runs wind farms. A single gearbox can contain around 100 gallons of oil.
Still more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels though.
