How to switch from linux to windows?

There is a lot of discussion online how to switch in a opposite way, but none on my case. As I am switching jobs, I will have to work using a windows machine. Any tips on how to feel more at home?

Linux is easily installable on a windows machine! ;)

Depends on what you're doing. Windows can actually be a solid working environment if you treat it well, give it sufficient hardware, and pray.

Most OSS tools and stuff are available for Windows, and some that work only in a Linux environment can be run through the WSL (check it out, it's really cool). All the common tools work really well on Windows, though you must be careful about slight differences (NTFS names being case-independent, filepath syntax differences, etc).

You won't get the same cornucopia of options for DEs and WMs that you have on Linux, but there are some extensions that can make your life easier, such as AutoHotkey. Learn the shortcuts for the Windows UI and you'll be zipping along in no time.

Personally, I like PowerShell. Try it out before judging it. Its .NET object based design versus the standard bash text based design can be confusing at first. You can always use cmd or bash via WSL if you don't like it.

Log into your new job pc, delete the Recovery Files and System 32 folder then ask to switch on Linux because it's unstable (Windows). 😂

Just surrender to the workflow.

I spent so much time battling the tools at first.

Windows dev tools aren't very flexible, it's easier to change the way you work instead of trying to configure the tools work the way you want.
