I noticed a couple of comments where people were wondering what the alternatives were. With this thread, we can possibly save people some research time, as I've spent quite a few hours in the past week or so.
I just use windows cause it's easy and everything almost always works on it.
A whole lot of work to use osx on a machine that doesn't constantly throttle, but not enough work for me to justify spending $3-5k on the apple hardware I need.
And honestly I hadn't used nix on the desktop in years, almost all of the apps I needed work natively - the Zoom client even looks exactly like the OSX/Windows zoom. I'm slowly de-osxing myself.
