After AMD released their Zen 2 lineup and the prospect of considerably faster compile times became attainable, I re-evaluated my relationship with MacOS.

I bought a new AMD PC and initially hackntoshed it. This actually worked out great but after some time I decided to jump over and see if I could live with WSL under Windows.

Windows is not as nice as MacOS, but WSL1 (tried WSL2 for a few months but still prefer WSL1) has allowed me take advantage of affordable high performance hardware and maintain support for the software I use daily.

I may buy a low powered MacBook laptop in future (because there are no Windows laptops with a trackpad that compares) but I don't think I will ever use it as a primary desktop environment again.
