Unfortunately I've had Windows 10 turn OneDrive integration back on even after disabling it. That was literally the nail in the coffin for me; I've since uninstalled Windows 10. I'm still using Windows 7 for games. Anything else is done on Linux.

When 7 goes end-of-life, I'll be 100% Linux.

"I'm still using Windows 7 for games."

I've heard this setup be described as a Wintendo. Not sure why, but that cracks me up.

I'm thinking of making my next desktop with a support for giving a virtual Windows machine access to a video card -- near native performance, but Linux for the host OS.

Yup, I'd strongly consider something similar. But I'd have to seriously consider the security implications: giving Windows access to the graphics card could end up being more hassle than it's worth.

GPUs' memory management isn't exactly security friendly.
