I know this isn't the most constructive comment ever, but I just want to vent.

Windows is a piece of shit. It's honestly one of the worst pieces of software I have to use on a daily basis. I've always been some kind of a linux enthusiast, but I've always had to use windows as my daily driver due to either CAD software, ableton live, a certain game not playing nice with linux, etc.

I've been using windows for 2 decades now, and I just can't believe it keeps getting worse and worse. It's slow, it's riddled with ads, it's constantly changing everything around for no good reason. I'm so sick of it, and I'm STILL stuck with it. If I could move autodesk inventor and ableton live over, I'd finally be free, but I've had no luck. I'm just really appalled by the garbage microsoft has pushed out

Same boat. I went the VFIO route: my desktop runs headless Fedora, and I run desktop Linux, windows, and macOS in VMs. I bought an extra GPU so I can run two VMs at a time. 99% of the time I’m on desktop linux, but if I want to play a game I just switch my monitor input and hit my USB switch and I’m good to go. If I want to run ableton, I shut down windows, fire up macOS and bam.

This lets me completely isolate windows and only use it for games. And ableton runs just fine in a vm, so I don’t have to have a separate Mac. Plus it makes it really easy to try out the new Linux flavor of the month!

It was a bit of work to get it figured out but it’s been running smoothly like this for a few years now. I refuse to install windows as a first-class citizen on any computer I own, because as you said, it’s fucking garbage.
