Unlikely to work in any corporate environment that I've witnessed.

This is why so many devs I know moved to Mac's. Not because Mac's are necessary that great, who cares about battery life when it just sits on a desk, but because it's the closest you can get to Linux in a corporate environment.

I would take native Linux on an ThinkPad as first option, but denied that I would go for Mac over Windows. I don't find WSL fixed all the other Windows problems such as lack of support for multiple desktops. They exist but the implementation is terrible.
