Never had something break on Linux that was not my fault (outside of running hardware so old I had to fix some boot options). Meanwhile, using Windows feels like I'm back at my bug test job. Issues persist for years with no solution!
In addition to the emulator someone mentioned, you might want to try scrcpy, which lets you control and view your phone on your computer. No root needed and easier to use than an emulator.
Forgetting is actually very important. There was a study done on mice that had been made unable to forget. One mouse was placed into a pool of water with a randomly placed rock for them to cling to. The mice that were unable to forget would not look for the new rock location when it was moved. Instead they endlessly swam around where the rock used to be.
