I mean, there’s always the chance you suffer a massive stroke? That’s probably the only reason I’d switch back for my own PC.
At work, where I’m forced to still use Windows 11 - it’s become almost a daily occurrence that someone in my team of ~10 or so will loudly curse Microslop for the entire department to hear.
Or because my fucking laser burner software dropped Linux support and it doesn’t run on wine so I have to use this damn giant piece of shit OS (or at least keep it around for dual boot)
You might give a VM a chance by sharing your laser burner with the Windows inside the VM but from my experiences, Windows-only peripherals most of the time don't work like that. They sometimes work.
Yea I tried that, software uses a lot of low level drivers. Annoying that they used to have a Linux version but dropped it,.
You might bundle the old Linux driver with its dependencies into an Appimage, unless it's too old I guess.
