Instead of pulling "obvious" reasons out of your ass, how about listening to the guy's explicitly given reason instead - specifically that he wanted a gaming rig and didn't want to pay the "Apple tax".
There is also PCI-Passthrough so you can in fact use a VM for gaming but it's rather cute that you're attempting to paint me as the one who is somehow failing to understand why a particular system might not fulfills their needs.
Also, which "other guy?" Handerous himself? I don't recall him ever expressing being "pissed off and sour" so either you just assumed guilt by association or your reading comprehension is way off.
Also, you literally painted a crash a year as if that's a real problem with MacOS or really any desktop OS. Don't pretend like you're being objective when you are clearly not.
It's great that purchasing multiple devices for each OS suits you. Not everyone is you or agree on what a "simple" scheme is.
Hmmm, well one doesn't pull obvious reasons out of ones ass. Obvious reasons are made obvious by simply existing... and the "Apple tax" seems like an obvious problem to me which is why I referred to it as being obvious in the first place.
Nobody said you or he couldn't use PCI-Passthrough? I honestly don't care what you do - but if and when that doesn't work for you and you come complaining, I'll be glad to share my own experience wherein I don't use such convoluted garbage and my stuff just works.
You yourself claimed he was sour and that you were pissed. Your words, not mine.
A crash a year or every other year is a problem and I'm absolutely, objectively certain of that. Sounds like you have the same problem since you think it's normal. I don't have these problems and I'm betting that's because I keep things very simple. So in my opinion, you're both probably doing something wrong.

It doesn't just suit me, it's empirically better since my machines run for years without crashing. I'm fine with people not agreeing on what's simple because at the end of the day, my stuff is running fine and whatever you guys are doing is not working because you're pissed and he's sour with machines that you can't keep running properly.
I'm not trying to paint anything though. I do enjoy responding to angry frustration with cool, level headed guidance though because I find that it helps those who can be helped. Perhaps that won't work here, so I guess go ahead and get that last word in, I know it's important to some.
Glad to help, but I'm honestly not sure exactly what I said that could be construed as a personal attack or a flame. My best guess: saying that I think people who are having problems with their computers are doing something wrong?
No problem! I'm sorry too. I am not a master of disagreeing well. I got better at it in person, but online I still just sort of let my opinions out. I've sometimes had a habit of being a harsh critic and I've had to temper that over the years. I suspect that I'm a little bit on the spectrum as well and I don't always pick up on social clues.
