As a #devops engineer, you really need to embrace Linux
I know this is not easy to hear for the Windows fans out there
While you can run most of the popular DevOps tools directly in Windows
You'll have a much better time running in a Linux environment
Fortunately, Microsoft has allowed Windows users to run a Linux VM in Windows 10 and higher
This is called Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 or #wsl2 for short

In this video, I share with you my recommended setup as a DevOps engineer
running WSL v2 on my Windows desktop

These video lectures have been taken from my course:
