      How do I play my VR games? How do I test the cross platform application I develop runs correctly on Windows? How do I update the firmware on a device for which the firmware updater only works on Windows?

      I use Linux. These are some of the reasons I keep a Windows VM around. So no, it’s not true there is “literally no good reason”.

      I don’t have time to troubleshoot Linux all the time. So there’s one good reason.

        From all the time saved not troubleshooting windows you might actually have to pick up a hobby, which I suppose to some is a reason

        Linux requires configuration but once it is set up, it works.

        Windows does require endless trouble shooting.

        You are projecting your bias here.

        Linux deff has learning curve which is what I think you are hinting at here
