      Not OP, and i main linux on all fronts, but still have to have a few windows machines around:

      There are still some viable gaming reasons, There’s still software like blue iris and corporate crap (Outlook, Office and you need to collaborate with office users). There are Adobe products, Autodesk products.

      You can try to play swapsies with things here and there, but sometimes it’s more work than it’s worth and sometimes you’re straight up not allowed to swap.

      In my case, my GPU (Nvidia 1060 something) has problems with Linux, games don’t run as well as on Windows by a huge margin.

        Odd, I’ve found that anything 970 or newer has good support.

        1060 may be some weird exception. But I have found the same issues with a gtx 670, badly implemented drivers from nvidia and the open source one can’t even properly render. But it’s a 12y old card or something, so I’m not really surprised.
