  1. I ran Linux on a desktop for 10 years. What made me finally just use Windows on a desktop and Linux inside WSL2 and Linux on servers was the behavior of the Linux kernel under high IO load and the nvidia driver when used for machine learning. Even with an NVME SSD under high IO load, while running simulations, the desktop would start lagging out and have weird stuttering. I tried many different IO schedulers and ran into the same issues. Under Windows I did not have that problem and I could still use Linux for my work inside WSL2. The other issues was more serious. Whie developing neural network code in tensorflow I had a number of times where the nvidia driver crashed and since it was also running the desktop it meant that every single program died with it. Debugging a problem like that is a pain in the neck when your entire development environment also dies with it. With Windows I ran into a few crashes of the video driver also EXCEPT that on Windows the screen flashes a few times and the video driver is restarted but all your programs keep running. I was able to fix my problems much easier that way because I could see what had gone wrong.
