I have to say, I see no reason for myself to use it as a host OS, as capable as it can be for some. I would rather just use the host OS that supports everything I do on a daily basis without having to watch update screens for at times hours, or slow my machine down to nothing with virus scanning... and having to constantly evict the malware. I prefer to not have to load a bunch of resource hogging GUI applications when all I want to do is compile a simple bit of software or mass copy a few GB of files. Its just so annoying slow and fisher price like.
I have switched to Windows as a host OS a few times but it never lasts, there is no reason to bother. Well, at least there is no reason for me to bother since VM's and pass through works just fine for handful of bad console port "AAA" windows only games that don't play nice with wine.
I have no issue if Windows adoption were to increase even as PC numbers drop but, as whole, I mean the entire desktop market will never really increase ever again but I guess I'm fine with the state of windows. (Windows Desktop, of course windows mobile and server aren't things anymore right ?) I have started back in 1988 with 2.0 For me, the biggest thing I do with Windows is is loose files.. no seriously gaming that's really all its good for. Otherwise, I just do not have the time anymore to constantly be fixing crap, dodging updates, ducking malware, and paying attention to which virus scanner I should be using because the popular ones are spying on me for the FSB or NSA. (its all good though perhaps windows 11 will change my mind)
PS.... yes I'm kidding. and yes the post I'm riffing off looks just as stupid.
