My reason is that VR gaming is not feasible on Linux, so I need to keep a Windows VM to play VR games.

Why is this thread getting flooded with people saying how they can't use Linux? Isn't that a little odd coming from a Linux community?

I don't see why. You can be interested in Linux and like some aspects of it but still get annoyed at the blinkered zealots claiming that there's no reason to use Windows.

I never had a reason to use Windows outside of job requirements. If I bothered I could find a job without such requierements.

Because on lemmy a post getting 100 up votes is enough to end up somewhere high on all, so your seeing people from outside of the Linux community in here.
