    Running Visual Studio in a VM? No thanks, it is heavy enough as it is. And don’t say use VS Code or Rider. Saying “Just use some other software, so you can use Linux” defeats the entire argument that Linux can be used in place of Windows.

    Discord with virtual backgrounds for video calls? Yeah that’s not supported on Linux.

      If you’ve got two video cards, which is pretty much the case for anyone with an Intel cpu, then gpu pass through solves many problems. I really only use a Win10 VM for games and Adobe software plus one piece of work software. I think whether your overall point is valid or not depends on what you need Linux for and how much you still depend on Windows apps. To be honest the nicest piece of software available on Windows and not other apps is Nvidia Broadcast. You could use OBS to get your blurred background on Discord but that’s really too much work.

      I mean, you should be using Rider anyways.
