With refurbished desktop computers available in the $200 to $300 price
range, many loaded with Windows 10 Pro, it is not a big deal to have a
dedicated Windows PC as the shack computer. Oh yes, you need a monitor
too, but those also are not expensive.
That allows you to run a Mac or Linux machine for your other computing
tasks.

Tommy,
You question seems straight forward, but it is a little
complicated. If all you need is just a logging program, almost anything
will do. However, if you want to go beyond that, the majority of good
software is Windows based, like CW Skimmer. Windows emulations today are
pretty good, but occasionally do cause problems. I guess I would stay
with a PC for overall simplicity.
I have a KX3 which I operate with Win4K3, CW Skimmer, HRD, FLDIGI,
N1MM+, and a few other packages. At some point you may decide to try out
some some other modes or configurations. Therefore, another reason to go
PC..
