You know, some people’s work needs software that doesn’t run on Linux. (Adobe in my case, and yes, the Linux-compatible alternatives are missing important features.)
Also anti-cheat in online games often doesn’t support Linux.
Those are the main reasons I’m still sticking to Windows, but at least I 🏴☠️ it lol.
as far as I read it’s difficult/buggy to give GPU passthrough to VMs (I only have one GPU - I found this guide but it seems quite over my skill level)
and as much as I don’t like kernel-level anticheats, one of my main games (Genshin) uses them 🤷 another older MMO I occasionally play, Uncharted Waters Online, also uses such kernel-level anticheat
There is always dual booting. Basically its how much bullshit do you want to deal with microsoft before dealing with the minor inconveniences of linux.
Yeah, such minor inconveniences of linux, such as not having motherboard control software at all, and not having a way to customize my peripherals, because the software also doesn’t exist.
Meanwhile god forbid I open the onedrive settings and solve this annoyance in 10 seconds.
I’ve read many experiences about how Windows has a tendency to brick the Linux partition when dual-booting :/

For me it’s more like how much Linux-incompatibility bullshit I’d need to put up with (in addition to running into situations where I’d have to use CLI which I hate) in exchange of using a not-actively-user-hostile FLOSS OS. And for my abilities and use cases the balance doesn’t quite tip in Linux’s favour yet, over an O&O Shutup’d Win10 Enterprise where I can disable 99% of Microsoft’s bullshit via group policies. (Will see how that changes when I have to switch to Win11 in a few months lol.)

Windows vm for adobe shit… and these days, only kernel level anticheats dont work for linux. (And lets be honest, good.)

If you install windows first and then linux, windows wont overwrite the bootloader.
I use linux as a daily gaming pc… you know how often i need to use CLI? Zero.
Instead of reading about it, try it.
