At work, I have a very powerful computer because of resource hogs that work makes me use (Rails, Webpack, React, McAfee, Slack, Windows).

My private computer is much less powerful, but still runs noticeably smoother because I don't put any junk on it.

(I cannot, for the life of myself, figure out why applications on Windows cannot play audio consistently without jitter. Might be McAfee or some other corporate shit.)

It's not windows. If you stop everything from running on startup (which means looking in 6 different places) and your CPU is being cooled well, windows itself can run very smoothly.
