This is my experience. I do CAD in Windows, but Orcaslicer only works properly in Linux. On Windows, it tends to crash when I tell it to generate gcode for anything but the smallest prints.
Just as well, really. It reminds me to reboot, so I haven’t tried to fix it.
My experience with Orca on Windows is the same. Any complex model causes bedshitting, and I've tried basically all of the solutions suggested on their issue tracker. I had mild success with affinity tweaking (ie forcing the slicer to only use real cores. not hyperthreads) but it's still hitting a ceiling.
At home where I'm running linux, Orca is perfect.
