My reason is that VR gaming is not feasible on Linux, so I need to keep a Windows VM to play VR games.

Why is this thread getting flooded with people saying how they can't use Linux? Isn't that a little odd coming from a Linux community?

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't see why. You can be interested in Linux and like some aspects of it but still get annoyed at the blinkered zealots claiming that there's no reason to use Windows.

I never had a reason to use Windows outside of job requirements. If I bothered I could find a job without such requierements.

Because on lemmy a post getting 100 up votes is enough to end up somewhere high on all, so your seeing people from outside of the Linux community in here.

That's why I'm here, front page.
