I'm going the other way. I'm fed up with expensive hardware which will fail from designed in defects (just lost my macbook pro 15 to stagelight). Every version of Mac OS makes it harder to set up a dev environment, especially for beginners. I'm in the academic world, we have A LOT of beginners. I am a fan of Linux, but the recent systemd/wayland drama moved it further away from "year of linux desktop",IMHO. Getting older, I am less interested in tinkering with the base system. (Linux is still king for me for servers, obviously. Maybe I'll try one of the BSDs at some point). In the windows world, you have a much wider choice of price point for hardware, you don't have to worry about drivers, "does netflix work" etc. With WSL2, I can run all the applications I need (and I develop mostly in WSL2). It's trivial to explain a student how to set it up, much more convenient than dual booting, or running a classic VM.
