Patch, 1 year ago Use an alternative, or Use Wine/Proton, or Use a web app if it exists, or Run Windows in a VM. For me, the first 3 options covers 99.9% of my usage. It’s been a long time since I had to worry about installing Windows in a VM. But to be fair, my requirements to use Windows software are very limited and non-critical. If: A lot of programs I work with very often are Windows-exclusive …then I would certainly consider keeping a Windows laptop around. Right tool for the job and all that.
