I grew up on windows and dont know how to program, and even I am dumping windows for ubuntu or osx (+ windows running in a vm for legacy software). windows is just trash. its pure trash. it has the worst user interface, the worst controls, lags, power issues, etc.

I would rather run a windows AWS instance accessed via a 4g ipad pro than continue using my pc workstation. its not good when people that dropped out of business degrees and cant program say that!

Well, is your PC workstation from your company? For various (many of them obsolete) reasons, companies load a ton of management crap on Windows systems. That software is not as available on MacOS, let alone Linux desktop, so they don't because they can't.
