You are lucky.  Sadly my employers have customers (mainly in Asia) that
insist we provide the same software for both Linux and Windows. Quite
often we have issues making stuff as reliable on Windows as on Linux and
then we find that the customers ran up the Windows version once to check
it worked and then use the Linux versions. But they *must* have a
Windows version. And now we have the clusterfuck that is Win11 and lots
and lots of stuff that no longer works and driver signing issues and....
Still it keeps me fed and off the streets.
