Majority of the reason why there's a lot of software development on Windows is because of the amount of people that use it. By using Windows, you're still contributing to that incentive placed on software developers.
Most professional Windows development is done with Visual Studio, and I don't blame them since using MinGW or msys2 can come with odd quirks.
If you want to use windows it's best that you run it inside a sand boxed environment such a hyper visor, aswell as using iptables to dorp any telementary packets.

You can pay and get some decent audio software that will run on linux. Of course it's still going to be better on windows so.
No it isn't.
I only turn on my Windows PC when I wanna fuck around and play PUBG once a week.
It's pretty useless outside of that. Why don't you learn to use GNU/Linux properly, user? I know audio can be a bitch to set up correctly but surely if you know how to use a computer you can probably figure it out with some effort.
This may have been covered by others, I couldn't be bothered to read most of the sperging.
There's nothing wrong with starting off on using a large amount of free software on windows. Over time as you become comfortable with your setup you may then re-assess what you need, and find at that point you can move to even more open source software.
It's like a diet, if the first time you eat a piece of cake you decide "fuck it, I've failed" and go back to your old way of eating then you have failed. Whereas, if you can say to yourself "I'm not perfect, this was a step back, but I am getting closer to what my ideal is" then you are succeeding.
well out of the windows it goes (no pun intended)
The clearest example I can think of is how RMS uses a credit card to pay for flights and hotel fees, while also warning about the privacy risk of using them and advocating for using cash only in your daily life. It's the same with phones too. He doesn't own one, but that won't stop him from using one if the need arises.
However avoiding those is much harder. There's little reason to keep using windows except "muh games".
Well yes, but perhaps you're forced to use it for work or school as is the case for many, I'm sure. Work needs documents in Word format, and school prof needs that essay in double-spaced Times New Roman 12pt font, submitted as a Word doc because they've never heard of any OS that doesn't have Word on it OOB. I've literally heard this from an English professor.
