Start by installing the Windows features Windows Subsystem Linux and Virtual Machine Platform on your system. The IDE's are running inside WSL 2 to have the best performance possible. The minimum software I use for development tasks are WSL 2 with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed, Docker for Windows on WSL 2, Microsoft Terminal and Jetbrains IntelliJ, P圜harm and PHPStorm. This laptop combines a lot of processing power with excellent battery performance in a tiny slimbook. I develop on a Lenovo Yoga AMD Ryzen 4800U laptop with 16 GB of memory and 512 GB of NVME SSD. Fortunately, WSL 2 enables us to resolve these issues by running Docker in WSL 2 aswell as your favorite Jetbrains IDE! My setup Hardware Mounting source code into a Docker container still causes very poor performance. Docker resolves some of these issues, but Docker on Windows is still running on a Hyper-V Virtual Machine. Mounting source code into a Linux Virtual Machines causes very poor I/O performance, especially when you work on large projects with a lot of (composer) packages and (frontend) libraries. On Windows you need a Linux Virtual Machine to install Linux software. The advantage of MacOS is that you are able to install all software locally using Homebrew. PHP, MySQL and a web server like Nginx, just work better on Linux based systems. The development experience on MacOS was a lot better than developing on a Windows system because of the special needs that comes with web development. Untill this year, I mainly developed on a MacOS system when working for my own business.
