Windows is also the OS that doesn't require relatively expensive hardware(MacOS barring hackintosh) and doesn't require that much fiddling(Linux).

It's basically the good enough option that most people would use.

It also lets you build bloody good ones. The 3950X will be a ripper when it's out, couple that with a PCIE4 nvme, 3600 MHz DDR4 and you'll have screaming performance for a relatively modest budget that'd cost you a mortgage and a firstborn under Apple - if at all possible.

It will also work with Linux though.

Absolutely. I see a few people running Linux on their desktop, but the majority are on OSX.

The Linux / Windows world offers more performance for significantly less money, if you're prepared to learn about hardware.

I find it so much fun, although sometimes frustrating when things like bios bugs interfere with normal voltage levels - need to be more hands on these days than before.
