I've spent half a day yesterday to set up a VM running Debian on my office's Win PC. Since I'm tied to Windows because of my proprietary CAD, my plan is to limit my interaction to a minimum and instead do everything else in the Linux-VM. With shared drives and drag'n'drop I hope it will work out. It comes in also very handy that I started years ago to strictly choose open source software that's available for both platforms - so no learning curve. Since MS won't listen - we all need to laudly complain about the lack of linux support towards our software providers. And yes, maybe too naïve, it will change something in the long run.

I've gone full linux both at home and at work. Thankfully, most of the tools we use are cross platform / FOSS. But in the odd case, I use KVM (the linux equivalent to Hyper-V) to spin up a windows VM

It has it's issues (like graphics card pass-through), but it works pretty well

One has to wonder how many clock cycles are wasted to render the watermark

Enough to make an Arch user have an aneurysm.

Yet another reason to toss non-DOS based software.
