A few months ago I installed windows on a spare SSD. It's only purpose was for modded Skyrim.
A few weeks ago I accidentally formated that drive. It was only mildly annoying. Then I remembered I was basically done with that playthrough anyways. The SSD still remains unformated XD

Sometimes it is easier
CAD
I mean I had my wild youth, but who didn't
Yeah...., gamepass 🥲 the only thing that holds me there at the moment.
I did it as long as gaming kept me there. Now I can play pretty much anything on my Linux machine. Forza fucked up. But whatever. It's a not a game to die for.
I have one reason that I fire up a Windows VM once a quarter. I do the financial reporting for the local branch of a volunteer run non-profit. All of the reporting is done through an Excel sheet that is over 20 years old which is heavily macroized with VB Script. It doesn't run in LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, or even online in MS Office 365(!). It only runs on a locally installed copy of Excel running on a machine with a printer installed. We're working on moving to something better, but the people at the higher levels are incredibly resistant to change.
I have to keep a spare bootable drive laying around for these muppet companies who only have firmware update mechanisms on windows, my monitor and thunderbolt dock being two that come to mind.

I play FFXIV a lot. On Linux, it seems that Teamcraft does not packet capture, so it won’t autofill my crafting/gathering lists. This is the only thing keeping me from swapping. Sure it’s a tiny thing, but it really helps when I’m just mindlessly gathering in the game.
VR and steam, for now.
I palayed half life Alex on the Vive when it came out on popos. That said I tried to play it again about 18month later and it was broken; would launch but not load properly. Beat saber has worked for me very consistently, mods are hard to get going but it's possible.
I’m using an outdated Samsung headset with the windows mixed reality portal. It’s UI is so far superior to Oculus I have I may repair it for another decade rather than upgrade.
Yeah, I have not really been liking the direction a lot if headset manufactures are going. I am never going to give meta money if I have a choice.
They’re legally strong-arming their way into dominating vr and enshitifying it for profit. The future of VR technology that is actually good is not Anerican.

And it's getting blanker by the day
My works used windows only industrial software. I have tried it in wine but there are to many companion apps and the accompanying licensing issues.
