However, ALL of my productivity can be achieved on the Microsoft platform. Whenever I am home, I tend to go back to the MS platform when I would encounter a 'stuck point' as that's most familiar to me. Then I figured it out: What if Linux were the only platform available? What would I do then..? Invent Microsoft.?? So, what I did was on my last business trip, I brought along my Linux laptop (no dual boot), and I forced myself to achieve everything that I needed to get done using Ubuntu. This seems to work, as I am now very partial to my Linux laptop more than my Windows desktop. I will never throw the towel in on Microsoft - that would be even crazier than me never trying. I love Microsoft still, but many of you should try this if you can't manage your way around relying solely on Microsoft Windows.
Today the debate has shifted to whose Cloud is better? But does it matter? That depends 
Every CSP has advantages and disadvantages. The next horizon of learning is the Cloud. You can take it anywhere! What I love about the Cloud is that there are no longer any physical constraints that previously were barriers to entry for learning. A great example of that is writing code and testing it on multiple platforms and device profiles. I can learn and practice Cloud skills and my current favorite applied DevSecOps.
