> How does this affect julia windows stability? Is it “good enough”?

It doesn’t, and yes? The majority of Julia downloads were for Windows last time I heard numbers. There are plenty of Windows bug reports and people have and gone to extensive lengths to fix issues (speaking both personally and from many more observations). Some devs do maintain 2nd Windows machines or VMs.

If you have unrelated questions, next time please start a new thread.
