Good point. I don't play games. My computers are crunching numbers, transcoding video/audio, serving up Plex, and running my smart home to keep stuff off the cloud. Whatever works for someone is the best for them. I have 1 Windows vm I bring up if I need it for something, and a win11 nuc knock-off that only serves up an azure cloud pc from work. I don't use it for anything other than running the windows remote desktop app.

The only bad thing about having a win vm to use every once in a while is when you turn it on you will wait for 30-45 minutes for it to catch up on the windows updates - and the updates for the one app you need to run.

Actually someone moving to Linux could do a P2V on their windows PC to turn it into a vm and they would have their same setup (assuming the drivers converted). However - trying to get someone who can even install their own OS to use P2V is difficult at best.
