What about gaming?

…I say, when the vast majority of my games work on Linux anyway, I switched to Linux from Mac for more game support, and recently I found out that even GTA Online works in Wine and have been enjoying it a lot recently.

But still, what about, say… the newest Microsoft Flight Simulator??? Aha!

I just boycott those games (and even games which run on Wine, but not natively; I got GTA V for free from the Epic Games Stote), but others may be more entrenched in the Windows ecosystem than me.

I'm having a hard time playing devil's advocate against my own OS preference here. I don't even have a Windows install.

…But my point is, that another acceptable use for Windows may be for gaming. It shouldn't be necessary most of the time, but if one already has games that will run on Windows but not Linux, either natively or in Wine, than a dual boot for the sole purpose of playing those games shouldn't hurt too much. Perhaps try Linux for the other games though, as Linux tends to be faster and lighter than Windows with more control.
