In addition to games, which is one of the primary reasons I use my PC, I don't like LibreOffice and I don't like the big Linux desktop environments that exist and I can't be bothered to sort through the smaller ones to find one I vibe with, when I'm perfectly happy with Windows as a desktop OS.
WSL offers the best of both worlds.
Games is a moot point in today's world thanks to Proton being able to run pretty much everygame
Proton can't run a lot of the games I want to play and like to play.
This is simply not true. I had so many issues with all sorts of different games (Xcom 2 and elden ring, just the latest two examples) that I just switched back to windows after using Linux for years.
Proton is great, and works great for smaller and less demanding games, but if you're looking at AAA titles it's not there yet.
This is simply misinformed. Elden ring does work great with some tweaking check Protondb. Most games do work on Proton. It plays most AAA titles. Just sometimes requires some tinkering
I tried protondb for days, all the fixes, different proton versions, GE, normal, old - nothing worked. I know it did at some point, I finished it before, but my second play through is on windows right now.
