@kescusay Just out of interest, what are the "special-purpose activities that can’t be done on my Linux laptop" if you don't mind sharing?

Running AAA games with kernel level anti-cheat (aka malware) would be an example.

Windows-exclusive software like some ERP client, specific hardware drivers etc. Also, there's no real alternative for Excel, unfortunately (LibreOffice isn't good enough).

Ironically enough, some of the Linux certification exams only work on Windows and macOS.
