These days it's best to use Windows on computer where you need it for a specific application, and another machine for your desktop. Sometimes with a switch so you can use the same keyboard/mouse/monitor

I know someone who uses one of those beelink minis or similar as a dedicated machine to run their 3d printer because the company doesn't support Linux as well as Windows.

It sucks to have to keep your nice production machine separate from your desktop, but it really beats the headache of virtualization or dual booting

Depending on use case, virtualization can actually be way easier

That's really interesting! How so? I'd figure that windows would have the better hardware support so running it in vm would be weird
