I mean you have to run Windows as your host system. Personally I would consider this a major drawback which more than eclipses any convenience gains.

I guess I should have been more verbose in my original comment. Windows is hot garbage, but there hardly exists a good reason for dual booting. Use a Windows VM from Linux if you can, WSL2 from Windows if you must.

Why? It works great. Or is it just personal preference?

Mostly preference. I don't like Windows' approach to telemetry, and intrusive UI patterns.

Perhaps because you don't like Candy Crush?

No I mean why should my OS (which I paid for) come pre-installed with garbage ware?
