System76 laptops good? Considering getting one to gracefully migrate fully away from windows since I'm basically in wsl and Linux vm's most of my day these past few months anyway

Yes. They are quite nice.

I bought the Gazelle for my girlfriend and she loves it. She also apparently likes PopOS more than Mint.

Also, their customer service is amazing!

The laptops are definitely pricier, but the hardware, software, customer support they provide is totally worth the cost.

I have a galago pro, and everything works great. I switched it to arch and everything was still working. Had it for 2 years now. Battery life is decent, depends on the workload but cpupower helps changing the frequency governor when needed. I got it for work only.

Pls do. Actually anything Linux distro is better than WSL. WSL has a lot of limitations and not fun to work with.
