I’ve recently taken to trying an Ubuntu Hyper-V VM, VS Code, and the new Terminal preview as an experimentation platform for use with Expo. It’s solid. The hardware (Ryzen 3700X+32G) was relatively cheap, and it’s working quite well. If I was Apple, I’d be concerned - I was going to upgrade my 2012 Mac Mini, but I now don’t see the rush.

As a matter of interest, have you tried WSL? It's a much more integrated experience than the isolated VM approach.

WSL 1 and Expo don’t play nice with each other; Expo was causing ephemeral port exhaustion and making both Windows and Linux unusable. WSL 2 should fix, but I don’t want to jump to an insider build quite yet.
