Reply to comment by nachodaddy0107 in Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux just hit a major milestone by CrankyBear

Yes, developers like me who are forced to use Windows for work (but also kinda like VS Code).

Yeah but the lazy bums at msft only keep the Windows version good.

I'm using it on both Windows and Linux regularly, and I can’t tell a difference. It’s a web app running in electron, after all.

Maybe my $5k dell work laptop has more hp to run a electron web app than my personal 2016 mbp haha

In any case, i work for a faang+ company as a web dev the i was pretty much forced to use windows. I know at least one dev uses his linux desktop but he’s much more senior than me and one of those linux wizards. Other than that we had to use windows.

On Macs, my personal experience has been that the small amount of RAM that the basic models ship with (8GB) isn't enough to run an Electron app next to anything else on the system. This might be why you're having issues on your MacBook Pro.
