    Yep, you learn how to get things done. If your goal is to use something that’s strictly for Windows, then probably you should be using Windows. Same as MacOS, same as Linux, and same as any other OS out there. Same things could be said for touch screen vs. MnK vs. controller.

      Or at least virtualize it. With USB and PCIe passthrough, you can basically use Windows for anything but direct access to some PC components (Everything not connected via USB and PCIe, so only the MB iirc), and (many) games (if you don’t have a second, just-working GPU for an VFIO-Passtrough)

        If you’re on Linux, I don’t think a windows VM is very useful for gaming? Most games run fine in proton, and the ones that don’t, probably don’t because of anticheat that will also refuse to run in a VM. I do know of one niche case that needed to be run in a VM until recently, that being SS13, but that was because of an engine dependency on IE for webviews.

          Might not be as easy, passthrough stuff can be a little tricky to set up sometimes, but once you get it going performance is identical
