You shouldn't have to go through all these extra steps just to squeeze out the same performance you would get by just installing [Other OS].
At some point I realized I was spending hours at a time trying to 'fix' Windows and decided to give Mac a try right around the time that Apple Silicon came out. It was a night and day difference.
The one thing I can say with my macbook as someone who's switched from a decade of windows, is that stuff tends to just work, minus window swithcing.
My C++ projects have a python heavy build system attached where the main script that runs to prepare everything and kick off the build, takes significantly longer to run on Windows than Linux on the same hardware.
Not much in the PC line up comes close and certainly not at the same price point. There's some correlation here between PCs still wanting to use user-upgradable memory which can't work at the higher bandwidths vs Apple integrating it into the cpu package.
The new MacBook Neo is a less than half the memory bandwidth of the base model MacBook Air.
Windows is also slow enough at forking, that clang has "in-process CC1" mode because of it.
