It has a very good GUI for building WPF and Avalonia interfaces drag-and-drop style.
Although it's been a while since I used rider, maybe it has it too. I should probably check it out again.
But my main reason for staying on windows is still those damn anticheat software for some games my friend group play.
To be fair though, windows is doing everything in its power to push me towards dual booting again.
I just have separate PCs but similar situation, and I've been a linux sysadmin for over a decade. A lot of games work fine on linux, but when you get in to things like specialty peripherals and mods/addons things can get messy. Desktop running Windows Enterprise (with so much disabled) for audio production and games, laptop running debain for everything else, and all my servers are debian or raspberry pi devices.
I feel like a lot of people don't know you can, or know how to, disable most of the shitty Windows features and addons. There's all kinds of automated scripts for it like "Reclaim Windows" but you can basically turn a lot of this stuff off through powershell. Most people are running Windows like a user and not like an admin.
Yeah, windows is still the best (or at least the most compatible) for games, but all my servers use linux too. I played around with windows server a bit, but it's no contest.
Thankfully, with WSL you can do a lot (but not all) of the stuff I love linux for.
I mean I even automated the backup of my windows PC with WSL, and it works great.
