Not really a Windows user, but I'd like to suggest that your reasons for preferring Windows seem a bit odd: I think most users would consider Linux DEs (maybe excepting Unity and its ilk) a lot "snappier", and VS Code is available cross-platform.

I also can't remember the last time a machine running Linux hung on me in the last few years, whereas I deal with that every other day on MacOS and every few weeks with my Windows gaming machine. In my limited experience, Windows 10 is really very stable.

I'm sure there are many other reasons for using Windows - writing Windows drivers and applications, for example - and it's your experiences and preferences that count.
