   @chris I keep a Windows machine around for certain uses - specifically Excel - that I just can't match on Linux yet. But it's entirely redundant and the only one who currently uses it is my wife (for work in Excel).

   Other than platform-specific apps like that, what data do you need to get out of or off the machine?

     @chris I'm not a fan of the lock-in in the Apple ecosystem, so I've not really paid much attention to their password solution. How does it compare to 1Password? After they finally shipped a Linux app I haven't had any issues whatsoever with my family using it.

     As for Windows side projects, yeah, I get it. Maybe I'll dabble in cross-OS stuff again someday. For now, tho, not so much.

     @chris that's 100% fair. My family isn't the most tech savvy. So they've mostly just followed my tech decisions with hand-me-down hardware. Which means, for the most part, everything is preconfigured.

     I do insist they reset passwords and whatnot so I don't have direct access and they have privacy, tho.
