Windows with WSL is honestly a pretty decent Linux.

That said, the aggressive AI, advertising, and telemetry baked into the OS over the last few years is awful. Hopefully it's possible for IT teams to mass-opt-out from those "features" via corporate fleet management; if not, that may genuinely be a good reason for companies to migrate off of Windows.

There are ways for normal home users to bodily rip this shit out, but it takes some work and technical knowledge to effectively rip-and-tear in ways that work for you.

Some of the tools are also not the most user-friendly, expect the user to be a power user with deep familiarity with Windows, and have non-obvious workflows that may confuse a majority of average users.
