I don’t mean to oversimplify, but you’re also conflating “PC” with “windows”. Linux and BSD are viable alternatives as well, in my opinion.

Do they lack the user land polish of windows? Sure!

But really at the end of the day you’re storing files and opening applications, and the eternal web browser. (Of which, you have 2 engine choices!)

Say that again when the impending doom of remote attestation forces you to use a single (and constantly changing) version of Windows in order to interact with any mainstream services.
