Comment on Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?

Comments

Run windows as a VM host with Linux VMs in which you can run all your nix.

You can script windows things with powershell and package managers — which you can test on Windows VMs.

Just make the VMs your primary work machines, and leave the host are unmodified as possible unless absolutely necessary.

Alternatively, you can use a Linux host for VMs.
