people who insist on using windows should just run it in a VM, it has suprisingly low overhead these days, you can even game with it if you insist, but i'm hearing wine/proton is getting good enough that it doesn't even matter
- Youre entirely correct about proton unless your kid wants to play fortnite
  
  Literally the only reason I haven't switched to a Linux distro. I hate anti cheats so much.
  
  To date I have not found any degree of enjoyment in any games with a windows only anti-cheat.
  
  I was going to say Siege, but they removed the ability to play as a team of exclusively shield recruits, I've heard.
  
  Siege is honestly awful these days (not complaining about the sci-fi ops, reality is lame as shit why not spruce it up a bit) but what they have done to the UI and the queues (bring unranked back please) is honestly unforgivable and makes the game hard to play. (It isn’t all bad, but more bad than good)
  
  I'm unlucky, I play Fortnite with my cousin in friends.
- You're still stuck when it comes to anti-cheat in multiplayer games. Some do allow it to work on Linux, but a significant number don't. Hopefully the tides slowly start to change thanks to the Steam Deck.
- windows' ram overhead is insane though, it's not like I can't run it but I wouldn't want to daily drive it
- I need the stability and reliability of it not running in a vm because it's for schoolwork
- I mean I do that currently and it is okay, but file transfer is still not working. The rest is, and I think it even was pretty much ootb, but the SPICE drivers are a real hassle to get installed, while it could be a one click solution?
  (This "insert spice CD" thing has no option to download the driver ISO, right?)
  Also windows11 is a bit bloated. Bulk crap uninstaller and ChrisTituses Winutil really help making it less fancy but more performant, or just usable.
  But yes, VM is way better than hardware. If your Laptop supports that.
  
  There is an ISO somewhere, I always struggle to find it
  After that you can just download from within the VM, mount from within windows and run the installer exe
  
  Yup did that, but this needs to go automatically, like its their stuff why cant they download it themselves?
  
  Who is they? There are many tools to run VMs on Linux not maintained by rhel
  
  Idk the devs of virt-manager I guess. Not sure if its a RHEL project
