I’m in a similar boat, windows for work, linux for personal.
But since I’m freelance, it’s annoying juggling 2 computers. Just waiting for a single app to either work in wine or get a Linux port.

My home PC is purely for personal entertainment, so less of an issue, but there’s little to no Linux support for my simrig hardware.

I’m in the same boat waiting for Linux to be a bit more “feature complete,” for me to daily.
In the mean time, check out W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It’s the secret menu item equivalent W11 they don’t wanna sell to consumers. It feels like a fresh W7 install with no AI, no bloat, no bullshit, and can even disable all telemetry. Only comes with Edge and Defender.
massgrave.dev has the iso’s and permanent activators.

Lovely, thanks for the reminder on massgrave. I made the switch to Linux and haven’t looked back, but there are some games that require root kits that I’d like to play so I was considering virtualizing Windows and this would be perfect.

Yeah but then you can’t run Xbox Games Pass or anything fun like that.

I can live without Game Pass.

You can install the Store and Xbox app, and use Gamepass. I have a friend that does this, after I showed them how.

Thanks. I’ll look into that. My current update had been pushing me to update, which I’m guessing is free, but I’m not sure it’ll give the choice of version. My work computer just updated to W11 Enterprise literally this morning, so I’ll get myself used to it here before making the leap.
