I use windows 11 for work as a linux/hpc admin, as it’s a mostly microsoft shop. Most of my work is done in a wsl almalinux terminal, which works fine.

The most important things I’ve done to make the rest of it more comfortable all come from the powertoys suite:

• fancyzones, to replicate a tiling window manager (I really hate floating windows)
• workspaces, to group apps and window placements so I can easily launch mail/chat/terminal/browser into predetermined places, etc
• keyboard manager, to set up shortcuts to everything
• run, for a keyboard-driven launcher

With all of that, if you squint and don’t think about it too much, it’s almost like a dreadfully slow sway desktop haha
