    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.
