Well, it was posted in Offtopic.
I know I know. Let me rephrase:Well, it was posted in Offtopic.
So you saying someone is still using Windows?

I feel sorry for windows users, they still fight over how to remove bloat that MS pushes into OS, how to bypass this or that etc.
Is masochism still a thing?

not sure what you mean, maybe you wanted to use some other term?

Used GNU/Linux as main OS since about 2003 but still dual boot Windows occasionally to run the odd engineering program that has no equivalent. It would make work unnecessarily tedious not to have access to a Windows boot. Shutup10++ prevents the force feeding of AI and also disables most of the telemetry.
Why not use VM? You can attach USB and PCI-E devices exclusively to a VM nowadays, so if your engineering program rely on those, you could do it without leaving Linux host.
No, it was sarcasm but it didn't land well

Don't use Win 11 often enough for that. Already have a cut down XP VM (without networking) for running legacy win16 and win32 programs.
You don't use Win 11 often enough to put it in VM, where it doesn't take any space (apart from HDD image), no extra partitions, no dual boot menu, no complications, you can spin it up in 5 seconds without leaving your desktop...
...But you use it often enough to dedicate a separate partition for it and to carry a burden of dual boot config with it?

Win 11 came locked with a permanent digital licence built in when PC was purchased. I assumed it would not activate if installed as a VM. XP was different, the activation performance was not necessary.
