I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.

I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?

    non-game, non-niche

    Nope, that’s actually strictly my reason for having a dedicated Windows rig. Games, and niche homebrew apps.

      Same. I went through all the trouble of converting my server machine to debian and then found it’s crazy convoluted to host an Arma server from Linux.

      I made a VM to host it.
