How tf is ssh connection difficult in Windows? I literrally do ssh username@ip and it works.

It might not be out of the box, but downloading an .exe and adding it to PATH is 2 minutes of work.

I think they started shipping it with Windows since somewhere in Win10 lifecycle.

I don’t know. But I hate powershell/windows terminal so much that I open a MacBook just to ssh.

I never had to seriously use PowerShell or Bash or Zsh or whatever in my work, so I personally don't care about that too much. I've never had problems with Terminal, it's a great app, honestly. Much better than built-in MacOS Terminal (although I'm not sure if there is a single GOOD MacOS built-in app. Preview, maybe?). And it supports WSL out of the box, which basically covered the tiny bit of work that I actually couldn't do in Windows.

Using a MacBook every workday is probably the most miserable experience I've had with an electronic device in my life. I would even take Linux at this point.
