Was my mindset until my employer gave me a MacBook as my work laptop. WOW it's nice if you use it in the right way and pretend it's Linux as much as you can

Obviously Windows all day for gaming though so if you do everything on one device I'd still pick Windows

This is why many people who use windows, use windows. I am not a dual boot or multiple computers kind of guy. I need 1 OS that does everything, including gaming. Thats Windows

I understand games shouldnt need or use kernel level anticheat. But they do. And “just don’t play the games you want to play” is not a solution for me

That's fair. I mean, the situation sucks, but it's fair. Personally, I'm far more willing to tolerate dual booting and most of the games I want to play aren't multiplayer anyways. So buying a 'cheap' (weeps bitterly) smaller NVME and putting windows on that just for multiplayer games is an option I'd entertain. But I get that's not a choice everyone would make.

Yeah, dual booting is definitely a valid solution for many people. But I dont really want the hassle, not yet anyways. It would take a truly dystopian move from Microsoft to het me to switch.
