Yeah. I won’t mock anyone who genuinely uses it or is chained to it who have unique usecases that cannot be provided or difficult to provide on Linux. Thankfully I don’t need to play vidya so I don’t need to go through the hell that is passthrough since libvirt/virt-manager are junk. WINE is even more of a crapshoot if you just want to use it with plain jane windows applications, so it’s not really worth using for my rare usecases.
That being said, it’ll be a cold day in hell when I have Windows touching bare metal.
When was the last time you tried? If this is genuinely the thing that’s stopping you. The only thing I have ever had problems running under Proton were due to Anti-cheat and not much else, though to be fair, I don’t play many games anymore. I also do understand that some people do have to use windows, or just want/prefer to. In the end you should use whatever works for you. Only reason I’m mentioning this is on the off chance the only thing stopping you is DirectX. Valve’s Proton (built-into steam) makes most things just a playable experience out of the box. At least from my experience.
I’m a hostage of DirectX… sad that Vulkan never really took off. And, WINE still isnt really adequate for me to just sit down and use.
