Not really ok with anything. Just everyone sets themselves up for a fight. The three prevailing options are:
1. I want a Mac but I don’t want to pay for one thus I will use a hacked up VM or frankenmac.
2. I want to use Linux and am hiding the complexity and general churn and stack of failure conditions.
3. I want to use windows but it kicks me in the balls once a week.
Cheapest solution at the time is to buy a jock strap and put duct tape round windows’ feet 
A good thing to note is that if you do use something at work, it’s healthy to use something else at home. Keeps the problem domain different so it doesn’t feel like you take work home. I use Linux at work. And Apple can’t make keyboards that work.
Edit: I watched a Japanese TV game show ages ago where there was a man who lived with a goat for a week in a single room until he basically went insane. I draw parallels to that and computers.
Fuck you... that furry little fuckard kept standing over me and drooling all night; it was like water torture only with goat-breath.
My choice as well. Not just because of testicular tenderness; but because I got sick & tired of living 6-18 months behind the rest of the world waiting for new hardware and peripherals to make their way to Mac or *NIX. 
It's nice to see a new gadget on slAmazon and be able to just click [BUY] rather than asking myself if Jobs' ghost is going to try and rape me with HTML5 again or if the Purple Hats will ever write a driver for my new gewgaw.

And worst of all, she wouldn't put out. 
Wow, when did this sudden change around happen, did I snooze or something. It wasn't that long ago that I remember everyone was slagging off Windoze, now it seems to be the popular choice all of a sudden.
It's not that she's the prettiest girl at the ball; or that she's a good girl either. It's that she's a cheap date, is likely to put out, and is most likely not an axe murderess.*NIX has high COE in terms of personal investment in computer skills and social ostracism.
OSXwhatever animal Apple is humping now has high COE in terms of money and limited choice.
Chrome/Android is a fucking axe murderer stalking you across the intardnet AND in meatspace; and because Guurgle has infiltrated so much of our essential infrastructure, it is impossible to ever really escape.
If you use their OS/Browser, you're just giving them body AND soul. Windows can be installed by your aunt Esther's winged monkey children (often by accident), most things you plug in work or can be made to work with a quick Guurgle, and because it's a teetering inverted pyramid of legacy code on top of legacy code, it is full of enough process interconnects and self-repair processes as to be so ridiculously fault-tolerant that even the President can use it without it blowing up in his face.
You can cut off 3 of 4 legs and it will limp along like some ever-shambling zombie until you put it out of its misery or run a registry repair/file refresh and fix it.
Of course, that accidental fault-tolerance is also why it is the number one target for every form of malware in the wide, wicked world. 
All you have to trade for that is the fact it WANTS to sell your soul just like Google, but it can be chained to the bed by regulations from every hamfisted clown committee who thinks they know what is best for the Information Industry and the world at large and 3rd-party software. And because they are the "standard for compatibility",
they have to allow that software to run.mnem
Like Democracy, Windows is the worst possible system. Save every other one we have.
