Explain what you mean by 'wide variety of choises' in a different way, since Windows doesn’t match that idea.
Windows makes it simple to swap out your desktop, available from Windows 3.x onward. You can pick a package manager if you wish (Chocolatey is a solid choice). It doesn’t matter whether you’re targeting developers or gamers—Windows handles that distinction. The only limitation is the init system, which works adequately.
