My dev env doesn't really change much over the OSes I use because I tend to stick with VSC which just works everywhere.

I've found that WSL covers more and more of my use cases when it comes to wanting to do something in Linux.

I have a ThinkPad with Fedora Silverblue on it but I'd never use it for work.

Most of the time I just stick to Windows because it covers everything I need it to and it works on every single device I own flawlessly. I'm still tinkering with this laptop, and since it's a T80s, there are no working drivers for the fingerprint sensor that I can find. Windows Hello just works, I don't have to worry about what I plugged in or what laptop I picked up.
