My most controversial opinion by far in tech circles is that I still just use a standard Windows gaming PC as my home desktop. My current machine I just bought pre-built from Microcenter, complete with a 5090 and everything.
I can fire up a Linux terminal with WezTerm and WSL2 at any point. It's customized and beautiful and totally fine. I have Codex running in one right now. I can listen to Dolby Atmos music through Apple Music or fire up a game with zero compatibility issues and full RTX support. It's just versatile like nothing else. I pair it with a gigantic 48" LG OLED TV as my monitor.
The only thing that might tempt me away from this is a fully loaded Mac Studio with 512GB of unified memory. That would be a real capability gap from my current machine. But I've contemplated wiping Windows and installing Omarchy, and I just can't figure out really what I'd gain, but what I'd lose is quite clear.
Windows has also come a long way from a terminal perspective. Sure, the UI is a bit of a mess, but Powershell can do anything in the UI from the command line, and agents are very capable with PoSH. If you really care about ricing the UI, there's hundreds of utility apps to do almost anything you want.
Agents are also able to tweak and debug Windows errors, since the registry, group policy, event log, and other Windows internals have been largely unchanged for 25+ years and are well documented. All have old command line tools or modern Powershell to manage.
