    Sometimes you want to play a specific game.

    For me, it’s QuickBooks that requires windows. I use Linux everywhere except on the bookkeeping machines for my business.

    I care about what’s being tracked on those machines for sure.

      Tangent here for sure, but have you considered running QuickBooks in a VM? I’ve got a couple Windows-only apps myself, but I keep them wrapped in a VM that I only spin up when needed.

      I suppose, though, if you need to run them 9-5, there’s not much point.

        Yeah I am in and out of it constantly.

        I tried for a little while with VirtualBox on Ubuntu but just found it inconvenient.
