@monkeyborg 26 year linux user here and i own non-computer music and photography hardware that needs firmware updates that can only be done in Win / Mac OS's.

So, even i, a linux user, have to maintain at least one dual boot setup for that. I wish it were as simple as just install linux and be done with windows but unfortunately that's often not the case.

It's other hardware needing things that can't be done on a linux machine that mean many at home, and at work may have to use it at times.
