Ask HN: Tips on moving from macOS to Windows 10

As DIY PC builds drop in price and rise in power, we're looking heavily at bailing on the MacOS ecosystem for work purposes. Our computers are tools and most of our work sees gains from Nvidia GPUs (video, graphics). Does anyone who has recently made the switch have any tips, feedback, things to look out for? A big thing for me, is the loss of terminal. File management, tools like rsync, have been a big part of why I love MacOS. Windows has come a long way but there's a lot to learn and figure out to get that kind of workflow back up and running. Heck, just not being able to hit the space bar to preview media files is going to take months to get used to. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to limitations of drive letter assignments either. Unix like volume names are so forgiving.
