I tried a full desktop env (XFCE) in WSL, it is sooo laggy.

Sadly, a true story. I asked 2 days ago. The answer was no, because they want to standardize the work environment. /:
Even on Windows I try to avoid Powershell. I use bash through GitBash there, too. But, I don't mind using Powershell for work, because some workflows are already implemented in ps1-scripts.
It is nice to see improvements to the file chooser, but why do buttons look so different from all other buttons in Gnome? What was wrong with the less rounded buttons?

This is so wrong. Especially the assumption that almost no one would want to have more than 1 DE installed.
Most DEs have their own configuration which don't conflict.
If the maintainer of a distribution has their shit together library incompatibility is no issue. Even on Gentoo you have to ignore everything portage is trying to tell you before you get in trouble.
In the past I even ran two DEs at the same time, sort of. You could start an xfce-panel while using enlightment or good old classic windowmaker.
Later I used Gnome and running my own fork of dwm in a nested Xserver. With wayland this option hasn't gone thanks to Xwayland.
If systemd is correctly set up for it, you get a different seat for every DE, no matter if some seats are hosting the same DE or a different one. I am not sure what will happen if you have several graphical logins with the same user, never tried it.
"I cannot attend EOD daily today, I have to get the kids from school early."
I have a blocker for Friday afternoon meetings.

I wonder what someone has to do to have worse looking font rendering on Linux. I find the font rendering on Windows worse in every regard and inconsistent (size). On Linux I just set hinting to slight and anti-aliasing to greyscale and all my fonts look nice. Same font with same size on Windows (VSCode is the only program I use on both OS) looks slightly blurred; only the fact that my work display has a higher pixels density makes it ok for me.
That's why they are only half the length. ^^
I think, it is a trust issue, the lack of trust in the own workforce.
So, it easier to let the administration be done by a different company that can be held liable if something goes south. Mostly these are those consulting firms that make money with O365 integration (intune and the like). In the end, they earn only money with consulting and the risk is still with the client.
CEOs are connected with other CEOs and managers which already implemented the O365 BS and so they follow by example. They don't see that they gain nothing, only some grumpy devs that are forced to work with Windows. And you need an internal Windows admin anyway as a fulltime position which needs to be educated to use M$ tools which costs even more money gladly taken by the same consulting firms.
And what strikes me, this M$ Intune Gedöns can handle Ununtu Linux desktops, but devs are not allowed to use it on the desktop to increase productivity. The irony: The product they are developing is running on Linux servers.
I had to get this out of my system, sorry.
