Combine that with a convenient platform like Windows Subsystem for Linux which allows running your favourite Linux distro with the frameworks and tools you need, and you have a perfect system to do development especially on Python. The free open-source IDE “ Visual Studio Code” is one of the finest out there for coding.


It feels like magic when it all works out of the box on the first try.
