Finally bailed Windows this year after a lifetime of MSVC, couldn't be happier with the decision. I'm actually kind of grateful for Windows 11 being so impossibly shit and forcing so many people to finally make the switch! Now I use Arch, btw.
I recently moved from many many years on Windows to full time on Linux for my bare metal embedded development, largely because of ST Micro's good Linux support with their tools.
Somewhat reluctantly, VS Code; but I'm checking out CLion as well and not hating it as much as I did last time.
I find CMake intensely offensive, just the whole worldview of every tool demanding you learn some DSL to do basic things when I have a 4K monitor and just want to select a bunch of cpp and h files to build, but I've since been forced to swallow this bitter pill for work reasons, and I guess it's time to give tools based on it another go.
