Even with Windows 10's improved PowerShell, and Window Subsystem for Linux, it's still not quite the same as being able to open a terminal (I use iTerm2, hands down the best terminal emulator I've ever used on any platform, including Linux) and run commands on your local system, using the full range of *nix command line tools.

I entirely agree with you that the UNIX base of macOS makes it preferable to Windows. The only real limitation vs PC is that you'll be limited to AMD GPUs, as there's no NVidia support from 10.14 onwards. You need to take some care in buying hardware that is known to work, but there's plenty of options. There are many guides out there, including recent videos showing making a Ryzen-based system that rivals the new Mac Pro, for a fraction of the cost. This in my view gives the best of both worlds.

When possible use small pieces of tape to fix wires to ensure they stay securely connected and don’t move much.

The loose end of our Bluetooth data cable must be connected to the motherboard: The loose end of our Bluetooth antenna extension cable should be connected to the existing Bluetooth antenna cable (disconnected previously from the old Bluetooth card). Tighten the adapter in place with one of two screws holding the old card. Slide the card with all 4 antennas attached into the mPCIe adapter then slide the adapter into the mPCIe slot. Connect three existing Wi-Fi antennas and one Bluetooth antenna extension cable to the card exactly as shown below: The new card with adapter goes in the PCIe slot where your old Wifi card was.

Some smart guy sells similar kit for around 215 USD + shipping but normally you get it for less than a quarter of the price (and free shipping from China) The Broadcom card mentioned in the kit is used in many iMac models thus natively supported by macOS.
