Why not just run Linux? Or use a Mac?

I run Linux at home on a laptop (arch), and had been dual booting my desktop for a while. Games, easy access to Office, and software compatibility issues for work software limit me primarily to windows. Plus I've been using Windows since '95. And with WSL, I don't need to dual boot anymore.

Never used a Mac, and never will. Don't see the point, everything is ridiculously overpriced. I build my own PC's

Try the Mac trackpad, I think you will love it.

My main project is Ruby, but have a small (mission critical) app that is WinForms .Net. Developing with VisualStudio (not VS Code) inside a VM on a Mac is terrible.

This is way better.
