Well, if you can live with Windows’ UX.

Same here. WSL1 has shown me the ecosystem of Linux, so I decided to switch from Windows to Linux completely.

You had this problem probably because you created your repo with the GitHub web UI?

I always create the local repo first with git init, make at least 1 commit, and then gh repo create. And yes, my default branch would be master but why should I care if I offend some Americans.
