So serious question - are you supposed to dual boot window / Linux for some reason?

When I got frustrated with Windows - I wiped my hard drive and just installed Linux mint having literally never used Linux in my life. I didn't like mint so I tried pop_os (someone here recommended it, thanks again!) and I see zero reason to go back to Windows now.

What is the point of going back to Windows when I can run everything i ran before on Linux now?

My games work better and I've found so many free open source alternatives to everything - it's been really eye opening just jumping in. I'm glad I did.

Edit - I should have clarified Windows other than work, I understand Windows is the life blood of the corporate body - good points on forrnite / valorant / destiny - I don't play those so I didn't know.

Maybe some sort of software that runs better on Windows when you can’t run it through a tool similar to Wine. Even for that subset of software doesn’t work after running it within a VM gets smaller too.
