GNU/Linux has a best potential like an OS to be a layer beneath the AI usage (for example agentic), lightweight, good compatibility, for CLI-only use etc. AI on side, I prefer GNU/Linux as a EDC desktop too, especially with KDE if you want to getting along after Windows
AI + nix makes it so easy to make reproducible personalized GUI software that generally doesn't just up and brick on you.
Well, I'm a dev so I'm already biased towards linux and I've been living in the terminal for a while (AI helps a lot with sysadmin/infra stuff too! Having it crunch away at my own microvm framework rn), but I'm literally just vibe coding my GUI stuff rn and it's great
windows is not the ideal os for developers, prefer using one close to your cloud environments, don't shrug off the additional complexity of wsl, it's not the same
windows cannot be made as safe either, simple things like running agents as their own user rather than your user

Noticed Ollama has a Windows version, ok, I just wonder why, but that is for desktop, but WSL? Does anyone really use that? And why?
