Hello all! I began working today, where the work is closely related to programming. Despite this, the work computer is set up as Windows (eww). I want to look for work-arounds, as installing linux on a work machine is a no-go.

I wonder, what is the way to minimize pain from having to use windows? Either that, or a way to maximize work done on linux-like stuffs. A linux server is given for us, and I think I can install WSL. Any recommendations on this setup?

Especially, I miss the virtual desktop feature, is there any way to use it? Is there a way I can run compositor through WSL? Also, should I install Pop! OS for the feature, or is it available on e.g. Ubuntu (default WSL)?

Sorry to ask a non-exclusively-linux question, but I think, hopefully, many linux people have experience to give me pointers what to do with a windows work environment.

EDIT: The Windows is Windows 10.

    You replied to a person who said:

    I recently upgraded to Windows 11, and it’s absolutely fine.

    This means that the context of this discussion was quite simple: daily usage by an average person. You brought your highly specific issues into this discussion, which led to my reply.

    You are clearly very angry and that interferes with your ability to understand what other people are writing, but that is on you. Stop being angry with everyone else.
