As a developer writing code who used windows to ssh to linux servers I would disagree. But of course it depends on the company and the nature of the work, just offering my experience

Every place I’ve been at had developers using windows machines and then ssh into a linux environment

I believe it’s only RAID 5 and 6 that are unstable, https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/btrfs-man5.html#raid56-status-and-recommended-practices

If you need all the online features you can run gog galaxy through wine, however I just use heroic launcher instead. And you can add any executable to steam, if I’m not mistaken I think heroic has a setting to do it automatically
