I switched from Apple to Windows 10 when Apple stopped offering decent "Pro" platforms. I need NVIDIA cards for the CUDA number crunching I do. (The Mac faithful say "b.b.but you can run an Nvidia externally over Thunderbolt." Ha!)

I even used to be an Apple employee.

Windows 10 is just fine. With a tiny amount of care to choose hardware that is all "happy path" (I run dual Intel Xeons, with a SuperMicro MoBo, and now dual Nvidia 2080 Ti for scientific processing), everything works fine. (Also, don't run third-party virus scanners. Just use what's built in to Windows!)

And things that don't quite work right on Macs, like 30-bit color, etc, work great.

I run Linux and FreeBSD in VMs. I don't use WSL much, I just build many things on Windows under Powershell if I don't need Centos or FreeBSD. I find that a lot of FOSS stuff works great on Linux and native Windows and not so well on MacOS because of "non-standard" choices about directory locations, etc.

It's best to give up your prejudices and give Windows 10 a try. Microsoft really did solve almost everything.

My $dayjob gave us all Macs for workstations. Which is fine and dandy, but I spend all day in an RDP session as my job is automating Windows. Honestly Windows is fine and is getting better. I'm running the Windows 10 Insiders Preview so sometimes things get a little funky but still it pretty much just works.
