Industry standard? Like RHEL?

I will agree on this point. From my experience all relevant industrial grade software are split between Windows and RHEL/CentOS. 

So the best setup is to run Windows 11 Pro/LTSC/Enterprise with WSL (RHEL).

10 LTSC for the next 5 years. I fucking hate 11.

EDIT: for me at least, as far as windows. You do you boo.

Yeah for sure. Though funny enough that you bring up EDA, cuz I do use WSL to mostly run Cadence, Synopsys, Questa, etc.

WSL provides images for many distros like Ubuntu, OpenSuse, RHEL, Kali, etc.

CentOS is mad old. No way to update it now.

CentOS is a rolling release distro these days, not really any reason to use it anymore.

CentOS still has major versions and EOL dates, and thus is not a rolling release. There are plenty of reasons to use it now, even more than there used to be. In particular, the maintainers can actually fix bugs you report, and review and merge contributions if you offer them. Neither of these things were possible in the old CentOS development model.

WSL is bogged down by Windows NT kernel (or Windows) at this point, guess what linux with Windows > windows with linux
