Most people don't have a choice. Corporate IT has choosen what I run my machine on. I have used a native linux machine, but since my email is still on outlook, everybody uses teams, and all the non-code documents are on windows I end up having to have a windows machine. Linux in a VM under windows ends up being the easiest workflow (though I'm just starting to try WSL and so far it is looking good)

WSL is really nice, as is Windows Terminal. I particularly love its fonts (but that's probably just me).
Did they ever fix terminal performance?
Mostly, yes. They didn't really apologize for the abuse they sent towards Muratori but they did essentially wind up with the architecture he proposed.
I think just running cmd still uses much less memory but Terminal is much, much faster than it was.
Outlook and Teams are both web apps, or at least they were when I last used them. Even if you download the "native" app it's just Electron. I haven't had trouble using either of them on Linux.
Outlook is native. There is the new web version that it says don't use (yet)
