    This isn’t really rational, but it always weirds me out when people use Windows for coding.

    Like, Linux oozes programming at every corner:

    • You can look at the source code for pretty much everything.
    • The whole system is well-documented, diagnosable and really kind of teaches you at every corner.
    • Various programming(-adjacent) tools come pre-installed / can be easily installed and are natively integrated (Git, SSH, Docker, databases etc.).

    And instead you’re installing plugins on top of this blackbox, to convince it to allow you to type letters into a window, which it then magically converts into either an error message or a running program. Like, it clearly doesn’t want you to write code. Why are you forcing it to?
