Quick answers about this topic hub.

Can I do serious development on Windows?

Absolutely. With Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Windows Terminal, and modern tooling, Windows is a fully capable development environment for web, backend, data, and more — while also being the primary target for desktop app development.

What is WSL?

Windows Subsystem for Linux lets you run a genuine Linux environment directly on Windows without a virtual machine or dual boot. It's popular for running Linux-based dev tools while keeping the Windows desktop.
