I honestly don’t know how people us it every day. If they’re not trying to shove politics or celebrity gossip down your throat with Edge or that ‘weather’ thing in the taskbar then they’re sending boat loads of data back to Microsoft on your every move. Why does anyone put up with it? And pay for the privilege?!
I need it for work and am too lazy to set up some sort of VM to limit data sending etc. I also used to game quite a bit and never got Wine working very well – but I don’t really play these days so that’s a moot point.
On one hand that’s true, but on the other not counting competitive multiplayer games (curse you anticheat shakes fist) it’s honestly hard to find a game that doesn’t work on Wine/Proton/GE-Proton these days
Unless I can debloat Windows 11 like the way Windows 10 Ameliorated Project did, with network spying fully stopped, this is going to be my last version of Windows I will keep running offline for years.
Imagine using Windows LOL

It comes on nearly every laptop and pre-built PC, also software support.

Things with Wine and proton have improved tremendously in the past couple years
Plus I don’t think you need Wine as much either because there are a lot more native games these days

Linux is no good for VR gaming.
