    What an absolute moron. It’s like VMs never existed in this guy’s mind.

    If you legitimately hate Windows that much, and you’re running a YouTube channel called ‘Tek Syndicate’…figure it out, fool.

      can run in a VM, and can run well in a VM are two very different things.

      Linux already has bad audio latency without tweaking, running a VM with Windows latency on top of that? Yeah no thanks.

      One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.

      Not all programs can be run easily in a VM or wine/etc., several apps/games I use will not run without a bare-metal windows OS or at the very least a dual-GPU system with a passthrough VM.

        can you name a few (besides root level anticheat riddled games like Valorant/League of Legends)?

          Many teknoparrot games will not run on linux under wine, and a VM without a passthrough GPU cannot do any hardware accelerated rendering on Windows, so without a second GPU or dual-booting into Windows I cannot play them. Recent adobe suite apps also won’t work on wine, and many functions use the GPU now like in Photoshop. There’s so many things that still don’t work in wine or a non-accelerated VM it’s not even funny.
