You're a bit RAM starved at only 32 GB. My preferred environment is yours, inverted. Native Linux (likely Ubuntu 20) with Windows in a VM as necessary. That is making much better use of hardware IMO. It also gives you native Docker, and a ton of easily obtainable software. Much new software development is beginning in Linux or Linux-like environments, including most language development. Perhaps more importantly, Linux is the deployment target for most cloud based software. The company I work with (Fortune 100) uses Linux as the preferred deployment platform simply due to cost, along with sufficient quality. It's nice to develop, test and deploy all on the same infrastructure. Software turns out to be very interesting in terms of real lifecycle. Here in 2020, COBOL skills are in (relatively) high demand! While I'm interested to see the "Son of Unix", based on something like Rust and completely cleaned up, rationalized, and secured, Linux and Linux skills will be valuable for decades longer. Windows, I'm not so sure about... My next development system will likely be a 16/32 core/thread AMD chip. I'd hate to hobble it with the Windows kernel, it's really not aimed at that class system. Linux is.
