    people who insist on using windows should just run it in a VM, it has suprisingly low overhead these days, you can even game with it if you insist, but i’m hearing wine/proton is getting good enough that it doesn’t even matter

      You’re still stuck when it comes to anti-cheat in multiplayer games. Some do allow it to work on Linux, but a significant number don’t. Hopefully the tides slowly start to change thanks to the Steam Deck.

      windows’ ram overhead is insane though, it’s not like I can’t run it but I wouldn’t want to daily drive it

      I mean I do that currently and it is okay, but file transfer is still not working. The rest is, and I think it even was pretty much ootb, but the SPICE drivers are a real hassle to get installed, while it could be a one click solution?

      (This “insert spice CD” thing has no option to download the driver ISO, right?)

      Also windows11 is a bit bloated. Bulk crap uninstaller and ChrisTituses Winutil really help making it less fancy but more performant, or just usable.

      But yes, VM is way better than hardware. If your Laptop supports that.

        There is an ISO somewhere, I always struggle to find it

        After that you can just download from within the VM, mount from within windows and run the installer exe
