I thought this too, I hated docker because it was supposed to be the solution of "works on my machine" and the only thing that did for me was force me to learn more configurations besides the configuration of the service you wanted to install.
And as you said, plus the hassle of having to run some Linux distro.
But little by little I had to get deeper into docker and Linux, mainly because of my work, and now I can easily deploy any service in the VPS I have or test it with WSL. I even started dockerizing some of my own flows like building and deploying my own projects with docker.
Believe me, it's worth all the time to learn docker and linux.
Start small, few lines or keywords each day, you won't have everything you want to deploy in a day or two if you don't already know all the technologies.
And remember, if you don't easily find something you can always come to ask in a post and we can try to help you!
I appreciate the post, but I'm gonna pass on ever using Linux again. I'll just keep my eyes open for when these things get ported to Windows haha because I think I'll puke if I have to type sudo or curl again
Yeah, Windows and hosting are a tough match. But you have native Photoshop and Autocad.
