> I use multiple OSes: macOS at work, and Linux (well, Linux-ish - actually it’s WSL) at home.

This is pedantry, and the article is otherwise quite informative, but describing WSL as "Linux-ish" is like describing a speedboat as "car-ish" because they both happen to have steering wheels.

WSL is a bloody marvel of engineering, but it is in no way an equivalent of Linux. I'm mentioning this because WSL proponents and detractors tend to miss the fact that understanding those differences is critical to understanding and using--even in trivial ways--WSL itself.
