      If you’re talking about crowdstrike… They didn’t all blue screen. That was caused by third party software that caused the same sort of issue (kernel crash/panic) on Linux boxes not even 3 months earlier.

  You can use VMs even more ambitiously. If your wi-fi is not supported by FreeBSD - there’s a wifibox port, basically it runs a minimal Linux with PCI passthrough.

  And of course if I need Windows, it won’t be bare metal.
